City - Des Moines

A vibrant gem in the heart of the prairie, Des Moines is named for the river that snakes through the city. This is Iowa's capital (and the county seat of Polk County), and it is filled with things to do. From concerts at the historic Salisbury House to the collections at Des Moines Art Center, and from the 81 miles of hiking and biking trails to the Greater Des Moines Botanical Gardens, Des Moines offers so much that it was named one of the top 10 cities in which to live by US News.

Home to such companies as Meredith Corporation, Wells Fargo, Voya Financial, and Principal Financial Group, Des Moines is considered one of the nation's wealthiest cities. But you'll also have fun after moving to your Des Moines apartment -- the city offers amazing shops and restaurants in East Village, the nearby Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino, the family-friendly Adventureland Park, and the fascinating Living History Farms.

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.

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.!
