Ivy is an unincorporated community in Polk County, Iowa, United States. The town formerly had a post office in 1900.[2] As the crow flies, Ivy is approximately 10.8 miles (17.4 km) east of Downtown Des Moines. There used to be a southern part of Ivy, but when Iowa 163 was extended to a two lane highway in the 1960s, the southern part of Ivy was demolished for the extended highway.[3] Iowa 163 curves south of Ivy, instead of going through it, as the older Iowa 163 did.
