Cityville

Lived here for over a year. Pros: Love the proximity to Grays Lake and downtown! The free parking is awesome, but spots fill up and I often have to park on the street. Cons: Expensive. Walls are extremely thin and the pounding footsteps from the person living above me are SO loud. I liked it better when Indigo managed the property…Artisan is not responsive and has ghosted me several times when I’ve had questions about things. 2 of the 3 treadmills have been broken for ages.

Cityville has been the perfect fit for me. Office staff is kind and helpful, and maintenance is timely and professional! Love it.

I moved in to Cityville in December and ever since they have been so helpful and responsive to everything I’ve needed. It is MUCH appreciated! :)

I love the location of Cityville! The free parking, dog park and pool are an added bonus!

I enjoy cityville’s location because I can walk to the nightlife downtown and walk my dog to Gray’s Lake.

Excellent everything! Always clean. Friendly staff and neighbors.????

Cityville makes you feel like you are at home. They have awesome amenities for me and my puppy. My most favorite part of living here is the walk way that leads to Greys Lake. We love that mile walk!

Cityville is the perfect location for me and my new puppy! The dog park brings a welcoming community to such a large group of apartments.

I’ve been living here for a few years. Amenities are good. I like their coffee machine. Apartments are nice too. Their gym isn’t bad either. I like the outdoor amenities as well (pool, dog park, outdoor grilling, etc.)

I absolutely LOVE living at Cityville. It is super close to downtown, and the walking/biking paths to Grey's Lake. The layout of the apartment is unique, in a super functional way.

Cityville is the perfect location for anyone wanting to live near downtown Des Moines! It’s a close drive or walk to court ave, walking distance to Gray’s lake, and the area is continuing to grow! The apartment itself has a spacious, modern feel with all the amenities you could think of. I also enjoyed the dog park, pool, and cookout area when the weather is nice. 10/10 would recommend!!!

Mark From our maintenance team at Ciityville was absolutely great.. I had a work order that was done and he was efficient professional as well as knowledgeable regarding doing my repairs. Barely new he was there while continued to work from home. Thank you so much your work was greatly appreciated especially how efficient he handled my issues. Thank you Mark and the Cityville maintenance team for being so respponsive in such an awful time.

My boyfriend recently moved to Cityville last Fall (I'm currently a college student and visit often) and we have absolutely loved it. It's an awesome location (just across MLK from Downtown Des Moines) -- Practically within the heart of the city, but with far more privacy. Amenities include an outdoor pool/patio, a cinema room with a projector (my personal favorite), an athletic facility, and a clubhouse for hosting events.

Apartments are nice and updated. Amazing amenities including a new trail connecting to Gray's Lake. The staff is kind and responsive to resident needs.

I had a long journey trying to find the perfect apartment for my best friend and myself. We wanted to find something that best fit both of our goals/desires. The number 1 thing we wanted in an apartment was huge walk in closets. We both have a lot of clothes and didn’t want to fight about who gets the walk in closet and who doesn’t. After looking at a few different floor plans. We finally found the perfect one with two huge walk in closets! We’ve been here for about 1 month now and we’re in love! Thank you so much Cityville. -Briana Johnson

I just recently moved to Cityville and I absolutely love it here! Its close to everything you need, without living in the heart of downtown. it comes with great amenities such as the dog park, fitness center, community center and soon a pool! I love my apartment, its supper spacious, modern finishes all for a reasonable price. Comes with free parking which is a plus especially because most places downtown have a extra fee for parking. Glad I chose Cityville, as my new place to live!

Cityville was extremely flexible with my need for a short term lease. The staff was helpful throughout the whole process. My studio is perfect with modern appliances. Parking is also always available.

So happy with our decision to move into Cityville! The staff is very helpful and accommodating and the neighbors are very friendly. We also love how dog friendly Cityville is. Our pup loves the dog park! The units are very spacious and clean. There is much to do around the area and restaurants and attractions are close enough to walk to.

This complex is absolutely the best place to live downtown! Its close to all of the fun bars and restaurants and within walking distance to Principal Park and Fuzzy's Tacos. Yet it is far enough away from downtown that you don't have to pay extra for parking and you don't really hear things like the train, sirens or loud music from the bars. The staff is great and the apartments are very nice and new. The appliances are all very energy efficient, so the electric and water bills are never too outrageous. The complex also has some cool features like a movie theatre with built in Apple TV, a free pool table and exercise facility. It is also a fairly quite complex, aside from the occasional neighbor noise. For as many units as there are, I really don't see many people out and about.

I've lived at Cityville for about 6 months now and I love everything about Cityville--great amenities, new apartments, climate controlled parking, professional and responsive management, close to downtown (but not in), easily accessible, and a great community feel. I am so glad I decided to live here! Maintenance was super fast with my request. They have some events for residents so it is a great chance to meet other residents. Highly recommend!

I have been living here for about 8 months now since the place first opened. I mean it when I say I love everything. I have had bad experiences renting in the past, but this place is amazing. The apartment manager is prompt to respond to e-mails, he is very friendly and understanding with any complaints, and he makes sure any maintenance requests are taken care of immediately. The location is perfect, so close to downtown but not right in the middle of everything where you would have to worry about parking or roads being closed for any events. I am able to walk to the farmers market, Iowa Cubs games, etc and I love that! I would highly recommend Cityville to anybody looking to move to the downtown area.
