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.

Misleading advertisement

They require mandatory application approval before you can view a unit. They fail to advertise or disclose after application, until denial, that the units are income restricted. They also wont share what those guidelines are. Their entire application process is a mess and waste time of real renters trying to find suitable housing for a family.

I would not recommend anyone move into these apartments. Tenants pile garbage up BEHIND the dumpsters, neighbors aren't very friendly. The manager of the complex is the worst part of the whole experience. Micro managing to a whole new level. I will gladly be paying to break my lease IF i can ever get a copy of it. Would NOT recommend anyone rent here.

Nice area

I love the area somewhere that's safe for my child to play outside and still come in before dark without any worries.
