Location
Get Directions
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.

Good Living Space - Poor Facilities
I've lived in this complex since June and I've loved the amount of natural light and large living room space. It's a good place for the price you're paying. My biggest complaint is we've had to put in multiple maintenance requests to fix our shower, kitchen sink, countertops, and windows.
