Neighborhood

The Easter Lake Area on the southeast corner of Des Moines is a lightly-developed community that feels more like a rural farm town than a neighborhood in the capital city. The landscape balances charming subdivisions, heavily-wooded parks, and open fields to create a uniquely pastoral environment just fifteen minutes from Downtown. The lake itself is surrounded by popular beaches and recreation areas, with large greenspaces like Ewing Park providing even more opportunities to spend quality time outdoors. The local shopping scene ranges from big-box stores to the expansive Southridge Mall, mainly clustered near 14th Street on the west side. With a diverse selection of affordable apartments, houses, townhomes, and condos in the Easter Lake Area, you’ll find the perfect spot to fit your lifestyle.

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.

DO NOT RENT

Management is not very good. Very unprofessional and talks to tenants in a rude manner. The only good things about this apartment building the the maintenance staff.

1/31/20
Amazing Property

Have lived here for going on 2 years. This is one of the best properties I have lived at. When ever I have any questions the staff are always more than welcome to answer/help out! Would recommend to any family or friend looking for an apartment.

9/20/19
Can't get ahold of management..

Wanted to tour & possibly move in here or it's sister property, the vineyards, with my cousin. I emailed multiple times & got vague responses about setting up a time, then never heard back from anyone, even after responses. My cousin also called & left a message, that was yet to be returned. If this is how management treats possible new tenants I'd hate to see how they treat the current tenants.
