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.

Worst environment

Right next to a construction zone. Dirty outside and inside. Stains on carpets. Elevator and hallway smell. I saw bikes with only a wheel locked on the rack. Tenant leaving angry notes about packages being stolen. I wouldn't waste my time and money here.

Do not move here.

Property managers are terrible. Will ignore you if you have a complaint about loud neighbors banging on the wall that are knocking stuff over in your apartment. They also let the trash room overfill with garbage and will blame the residents for “overfilling” because they’re too lazy to do anything about it.

Great location

Great location, decent pricing. Old property manager is as so personable and communicative with people beyond a email or flyer. Just changed management, so hope it holds up.

Loving east village!

I moved to Des Moines about 3 months ago from Nashville, TN and at first the building wasn't what I expected. The whole building was dirty, the carpet was stained all over the place, elevator was always dirty. Not long ago Indigo Management took over here at the lofts and I'd say that has been the best decision they could of made. Ashley has been a great property manager, she's answered all my questions and catered to all my concerns and needs. Maintenance people did an awesome and fast job resolving my issues here at my apartment. Carpet is not stained anymore, there's not a lot of packages on the floor by the entrance, there's a clear path for me to grab my mail. Everything is starting to look better and cleaner. Overall I'm glad there's a new team making sure our place of living is comfortable and convenient. - Marian Aleman

No not waste your time

This place stinks horribly in the hallways of dog pee. The trash chute is always full by Mondays and have seen multiple cockroaches near the hallways of the trash chute room and in the room. Dogs barking at all hours of the day. Front door handicap access broke. Elevator broke. DONT BE SHOCKED; my rent has also gone up over a hundreds dollars just like everyone else. Don’t live here.

Great Apartment

Emily was very helpful in the leasing office. Nice amenities and close to downtown in a newer apartment. Amazing place. So glad I decided to move here.

Modern

Modern space and amenities, but it is a little pricey for small spaces. It does have free street and back in angle parking for visitors around the building, although it does get taken up quickly after work hours. Quite space other than the train, which is expected but not bothersome. Lets lots of light in and even though they have small studios there is a lot you can do with the space.

Nice Quality

Very new and modern looking and feeling. Lots of natural sunlight to keep the mood up in the winter. Great courtyard the makes the place feel spacious. Rent is on the high end but it's kind of worth it.

Expensive

Way to expensive for the what they are offering. Dirty courtyard. Filled with dog poop. Very small apartments.

Great Place to Live!

My wife and I lived in a studio and loved the community. The courtyard is amazing (we have a dog) and you don't find green space like this anywhere close to downtown. The amenities are great - fitness room, sky lounge, pet wash and more. Management has done multiple events such as courtyard concert, courtyard yoga, and grill out with food, drinks, bags, etc. In regards to the reviews about thin walls, we had neighbors on all sides and were in a studio and RARELY heard neighbors/noises. We had parking right next to the building and paid half what our previous landlord charged for ramp parking, plus street parking is free and ample, so friends always had a place to park nearby. Management was always quick to respond and address work orders. We were able to get a move-in special making the rent super reasonable for a brand new building. Overall, we will and have recommended Rowat to many friends and if you are looking for a place to live, definitely go tour and decide for yourself. You won't be disappointed!

Great Apartments

We really love this apartment. They are a brand new complex so they have good quality appliances and up to date amenities. The location is perfect. Kristen, the apartment manager, is really nice and friendly as well.
