Neighborhood

Nestled along the Des Moines River, Capitol Park is a suburban-like neighborhood about two miles northwest of Downtown Des Moines. Great for renters from all walks of life, the neighborhood has affordable and upscale housing options available for rent. Recreational activities abound at riverfront parks to give Capitol Park residents a breath of fresh air. Admire vibrant flowers in a massive geodesic dome at the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden or ride your bike along the American Discovery Trail once you move into your new home. Capitol Park also houses the UnityPoint Health Iowa Lutheran Hospital. Similar to other suburban areas, Capitol Park has schools and a few casual restaurants and small shops, but many residents travel outside the neighborhood for a wider range of amenities. The neighborhood borders East Village which is known for its vibrant dining and nightlife scenes. For even more options, downtown is less than 15 minutes away.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
