Downtown

The Heart of it All

Since Des Moines was first founded in the mid-1800s, the ebbs and flows of time have been good to Iowa’s capital city.

When you visit downtown Des Moines, you are immersed in the heart of one of the nation’s leading urban renewals, with ongoing development and thriving entertainment options, both big and small. Here, the housing options continue to mount. In addition to an attractive and eclectic blend of existing condo and classic townhome properties, there is a continual wave of new housing development underway, with a mix of converted commercial spaces, as well as new high-rise developments dedicated to family living.

Give downtown Des Moines a look. You may just find that your place to call home is here … in the heart of it all.
