The Ankeny Brief
Ankeny is split across two ZIP codes. 50021 is the original, generally covering the older west and central parts of town. 50023 was added as the city grew and generally covers the eastern and northern growth areas, including much of Prairie Trail. They overlap around the middle, so the surest way to know which applies is to check the specific address. Both share the 515 area code and sit in Polk County.
