The East Village neighborhood features local boutiques and restaurants in beautifully restored historic buildings. The area around Drake University draws students and professionals alike, while Windsor Heights provides peaceful residential streets just minutes from downtown's climate-controlled skywalk system.

The Des Moines Art Center, Pappajohn Sculpture Park, and Science Center of Iowa anchor the city's arts and culture scene. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy 76 city parks and three public golf courses, including the popular Gray's Lake Park with its scenic 1.9-mile lakeside trail. Current rent trends show modest annual increases of 0.6%, keeping Des Moines housing costs lower than comparable cities.

Don’t do it!

Would not recommend to anyone. The staff is not helpful and while living there , there was usually nobody in the office nor would they answer the phone regularly including the management company TWG. Experienced homeless people in the halls due to the doors being broken and often picking through the garbage. First day we moved in, our stove and ac/heat unit did not work and after putting in a maintenance request and calling the office multiple times, we waited 3 days before anyone even came. We called and reported mold and water damage in our apartment and we’re blown off multiple times even after someone( not a maintenance man but the original building contractor) confirmed it. Also while living there on the 1st floor in an “brand new” unit ,our windows leaked into the bedrooms during every rain storm and even a few tornados , and again after bringing it to management nothing was done about it. I could go on and on but overall it was just a bad experience and wouldn’t recommend to anyone.!
