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.

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.

Property Ratings at Colonial Village
There's nothing wrong with Colonial Village that demolition couldn't fix. Roaches, bedbugs, trash, crime, unlicensed cars, the whole package.
Tengo 2 años aproximadamente viviendo en estos apartamentos hace 4 meses m mudé a unos de tres habitaciones hemos tenido muchos inconvenientes de los cuales no han sido solucionados entre ellos nuevamente se rompió una tubería q hasta hoy cae agua en mi baño ya no sé a quién acudir porq en las oficinas ni por correos electrónicos nos dan solución.
Terrible management. Maintenance takes forever to fix things mostly because they're constantly firing all their maintenance staff. Large groups of unsupervised kids run out in front of cars in the parking lot and trash the place- literally leaving trash everywhere on the grounds and dumping trashcans. There's no limits on the amount of cars. The people above us have 4 cars, the people below us have 4 cars and a work truck and another tenant have 3 cars and that's just in our building, not counting the other tenants that live there, so good luck finding any parking spot near your apartment. Last year police had to be called multiple times a week because of children who didn't even live in the apartments causing trouble- threatening to shoot people, checking cars to see if they're unlocked, taunting the other unsupervised kids and all management said was there was nothing they could do. Just terrible

Hello Megan, we're very disappointed to see your review and we'd love the opportunity to discuss these areas of concern further with you and see what we can do to turn your experience around. If you could reach out to our office directly at colonialvillage@elevateliving.com, we'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
I absolutely love living here. If I have ever had a problem maintenance is here same or next day working on it. The people in the office are very friendly! Also I have never had any issues with theft or heard any of my neighbors talking about it. Also my apartment is really nice, they put in new carpet and appliances before I moved in and of course a fresh coat of paint!
My wife and I have been living here for a few months and so far everything has been great. I’ve had a few maintenance request and they have been taken care of in a timely manner. I had an issue at another one of their properties that was very frustrating but they got us taken care of and we are very happy with management at this point. No place is perfect but I feel like current management tries they’re best to address issues or concerns. Give them a try.

Started down with stairs neighbors always moving in and out one of my other neighbors next to me told me they were moving cause they had bed bugs and then I got them they charge a cool $1,000 for treatment that doesn’t work.

Hi, we truly appreciate your honest feedback. We appreciate you bringing this experience to our attention. If you are willing, please contact us at communications@elevateliving.com so we can work towards a resolution. We look forward to hearing from you.
I love it here! The residents are down to earth and very friendly. The office staff is very friendly as well. My apartment has been perfect. There's things here and there that are a little "worn" but that's just expected when you rent. I have never had to call maintenance for anything except for the first week we moved in and we have two months left of our lease now. I would stay here as long as I could but unfortunately we have had some financial set backs and must find a cheaper apartment complex. Oh and it's also great if you have a dog because they have a little dog park to take your dog to get some energy out! Very pet friendly place. Would recommend this complex 100%.
Although kind to potential tenants, staff seems overworked. Although spacious, units appear poorly maintained. Tenant issues could be managed better with adequate quantity of staffing. It appears behind the scenes management executives or owners are more interested in making money than having a quality reputation. This is not a four star complex.
I moved to my appartment 4 years ago. I will have to find a cheaper place when my lease is up because I can't afford to live here anymore. The rent has gone up $150 since I moved in. :(
Don't let the spacious floor plan or central air fool you, the only thing these apartments have going for them is location. They are within walking distance of Valley West Mall and right on a bus route. Unfortunately, the cons outweigh the pros here. The management hours vary constantly. The washer and dryer in the building work some of the time. If you like spending $800 a month for a convenient location and not much else, you might like it here.
