East Village is known as Des Moines’ most vibrant and diverse district. Located between the Iowa State Capital and the Des Moines River in downtown Des Moines, East Village is a charming place to call home. The neighborhood is highly accessible by car, bike, bus, and even foot. History runs deep in East Village, recognized by historical museums and landmarks. The State Historical Museum of Iowa is a must-visit location to learn more about Iowa’s rich heritage.

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.
