Located just minutes from Downtown Des Moines to the east, with Des Moines University to the west and the parks along the Raccoon River to the south, Haines Park-Owl’s Head Estates is a charming residential neighborhood. This quiet residential area of housing developments, tree-lined streets, and cul-de-sacs maintains a relatively upscale allure among the Des Moines landscape. There’s an even mix of upscale and modern apartment communities, long-standing townhomes, and incredible single-family homes for rent. The downtown area sits just minutes away and offers residents a variety of choices for culture, dining, and nightlife activities. The area’s close proximity to several city-run parks that line the river also provides opportunities for outdoor recreation and family fun. Interstate 235 and Grand Avenue are just a few blocks north, making a commute to Downtown Des Moines or a journey around the rest of the state simple.
