Neighborhood

Located about five miles northwest of Downtown Des Moines, Drake is a diverse, affordable community. The neighborhood is home to Drake University, giving it a slight college-town vibe. The northeastern part of the community is dominated by academic halls and student housing, but Drake offers affordable rentals as well. Catering to the college crowd, Drake has a few casual restaurants and small stores. For more shopping, dining, and entertainment options, most residents travel into Downtown Des Moines or the East Village, which are both less than 15 minutes away. Both urban districts house offices, breweries, live music venues, and more. Check out the Pappajohn Sculpture Park, Science Center of Iowa, or the World Food Prize Hall of Laureates — the options are endless while living in Drake.

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.
