Youssi Custom Homes of Iowa has expanded its residential offerings at Forest Grove Crossing in Bettendorf, responding to sustained demand for quality housing in the Pleasant Valley School District. The expansion includes additional ranch-style villas and condominium configurations designed to meet the needs of buyers seeking homes in the top-rated school district in Iowa.
The Forest Grove Crossing development features homes starting in the low $200,000 range, incorporating premium features typically found in higher-priced properties. Each residence includes nine-foot ceilings, luxury vinyl plank flooring, Cambria quartz countertops, and GE stainless steel appliances. The ranch villas offer 1,446 square feet of living space with full unfinished basements, while condominium options range from 1,313 square foot two-bedroom units to 1,565 square foot three-bedroom configurations.
“The demand for quality housing in the Pleasant Valley School District continues to exceed available inventory,” said Shane Youssi, President of Youssi Custom Homes of Iowa. “Our expansion at Forest Grove Crossing addresses this need by providing homes that combine affordability with the premium features families expect in this prestigious school district.”
The Pleasant Valley School District recently earned recognition as the top-rated school system in Iowa according to MSN, contributing to increased interest in residential properties within its boundaries.

The company has enhanced the home-buying experience through digital innovation, introducing interactive walkthrough videos on their website that allow prospective buyers to explore floor plans and features remotely. This technology enables interested parties to view properties virtually before scheduling in-person visits, streamlining the selection process for out-of-area buyers and those with limited availability for property tours.
Each home at Forest Grove Crossing features craftsman-style exteriors with cedar brackets and corbels, attached two-car garages, and energy-efficient furnaces rated at 90+ efficiency. Interior appointments include oversized trim packages, rounded bullnose corners on walls, high-efficiency gas fireplaces, and barn doors throughout the units. The development sits 1.5 miles west of BettPlex on Forest Grove Road, providing convenient access to local amenities while maintaining a residential atmosphere.
