City - Des Moines

Des Moines combines city living with authentic Midwestern hospitality. The state capital offers varied housing choices, from downtown apartments averaging $996 for a one-bedroom to family homes in established neighborhoods. The East Village neighborhood features local boutiques and restaurants in beautifully restored historic buildings. The area around Drake University draws students and professionals alike, while Windsor Heights provides peaceful residential streets just minutes from downtown's climate-controlled skywalk system.

The Des Moines Art Center, Pappajohn Sculpture Park, and Science Center of Iowa anchor the city's arts and culture scene. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy 76 city parks and three public golf courses, including the popular Gray's Lake Park with its scenic 1.9-mile lakeside trail. Current rent trends show modest annual increases of 0.6%, keeping Des Moines housing costs lower than comparable cities.
