Neighborhood

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.

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.

Hamilton Apartments

I recently moved out of Hamilton after living there for 10 years. It was a wonderful experience. I was over the moon for my apartment and the family who owns/runs it. I never would have left but I got married and my husband and I bought a home. My apartment was beautiful. The amenities are great - especially the assigned underground parking. If you want a lovely place to live with people who you can count on you should live at the Hamilton.
