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.

Nearly Heaven Near My Job

I can walk to my job in downtown Des Moines from my secure multi-cultural, peaceful, one bedroom apartment. (Our nation could take some cues from our apartment building.) My cleverly designed and appointed one bedroom apartment would cost twice as much in another part of the city. I'm blessed and grateful to have found it. Appliances include a microwave oven and dishwasher in addition to a range and refrigerator. It's Iowa, so of course there is heating AND air-conditioning. It's tiny, but I do have a balcony. Our modern building blends well into a historic neighborhood. I'm not at a point in life where I'm looking at local schools, but grocery shopping and restaurants are within easy walking distance.

6/10/14
great place but

Doesn't allow pets, wished they did , I would not leave a valuable member of my family out , maybe in the future they will allow man's best friend.
