City - West Des Moines

West Des Moines is located in three Iowa counties. Residents of this area enjoy perusing the local shops at Valley Junction, which began in 1893. Today it serves as the city’s business district, flavored by undeniable community tradition. With more than 100 specialty shops, art galleries, and restaurants, there’s always something new to discover.

On the other side of West Des Moines, Jordan Creek Town Center occupies a large fashion space that includes a 3.5-acre lake and boardwalk. Many apartments are just minutes from the mall’s stores, movie theater, and lakeside restaurants. The city is located in America’s heartland and has cherished quilting since its existence. Quilt-making goes back to the 18th century in West Des Moines, and many people proudly display their creations at city craft expos.

In addition to quilting, residents of West Des Moines enjoy the local productions at Tallgrass Theatre Company on Vine Street.

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.

Less than one star!

Don't live here. Horrible place. Lived there 3 years. Matienace guys are incompetent. Manager never there. Constant weed smell. SEVERE MOLD PROBLEM! AND YES I HAVE PROOF OF MOLD!!! Building went downhill once transfer of owner. They only care about money and will keep your deposit and make things up to bill you for. I was smart and took pictures and video before I moved. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!

Just NO

I just moved out of these apartments after living there for 2 years. I experienced the worse maintenance; nothing EVER got fixed, drug deals in parking lot, trash everywhere, unsafe for my child, loud music, and people running through the halls all hours of the night. It was the worse place I ever lived. I wouldn't advise moving here.

Property Manager at Briarwood Grand Apartments, Responded To This Review

We certainly do apologize if your residency at Briarwood was less than satisfactory. We strive to make our properties safe and welcoming communities. In order to do this, we not only employ the best people we also count on the cooperation of our tenants. We have a great partnership with the West Des Moines Police Department, so had there been illegal activity in our parking lot, we would have been notified and Police presence would have increased. We would assume that while witnessing this event, a call was not made to the Police Department nor the manager. We employ a staff of 4 full-time maintenance personal to oversee the maintenance issues of the property, while your review did not state what was not fixed in your home, we are available to all of our residents 24/7. We all carry cell phones to make sure we are available should the need arise, as well as employ an after-hours answering service for emergencies. If our maintenance staff overlooked a repair at your apartment, we do apologize. A follow up call to our manager would have corrected this immediately. Briarwood Grand is a 96-unit Apartment Community, as in any close living quarters, from time to time you are going to hear noises, it cannot be helped. If the noise were to be excessive and disturbing, our manager would have taken steps to correct the issues, had she received a phone call, text, or email regarding the problem. We appreciate your residency at Briarwood Grand and we will continue to do our best to make it a safe, welcoming place to call home. We firmly believe that there is always room for improvement, and we will always do our best for our residents.
