Located at 717 Seventh St in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, this two-bedroom, one-bathroom unit offers a practical and well-organized single-floor layout. A welcoming entrance opens into a bright hallway with hardwood-style flooring that flows throughout the main living areas. The open-concept living room is spacious and filled with natural light, anchored by a large sliding glass door that leads to a private balcony with views of the surrounding cityscape. The kitchen sits adjacent to the living area in a galley-style configuration, featuring warm wood cabinetry, dark countertops, stainless steel appliances including a range and over-the-range microwave, a black refrigerator, and a double basin sink — all oriented around an efficient corridor layout. The primary bedroom offers generous proportions and direct outdoor views through a large window. The second bedroom is finished with plush carpet and features warm wood-tone doors, adding a cozy contrast to the neutral walls. Three closets throughout the unit provide ample storage.

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.
