Gray’s Lake & South Side

Panoramic Possibilities

The area south of the Racoon River and downtown Des Moines and running west to east from the Des Moines International Airport to Easter Lake Park is a beautiful, rolling landscape that provides serene natural beauty—yet close to the heart of the city.

One of the area’s breathtaking landmarks and an outdoor enthusiast’s playground, is the growing and newly developed Gray’s Lake district, a sprawling area of parks, trails and water activities, all in the shadow of the city’s center. This area’s natural beauty melts seamlessly into an expansive area of mansions, upscale homes and attractive family residences as you move south along Fleur Drive. Sprinkled throughout the area is also an emerging offering of attractive and spacious townhomes and luxury condominiums to choose from. Further east, south of the Des Moines River, is the natural landscape of the Easter Lake area. Established and filled with natural beauty, you will find mature-treed homes and newly developed and highly affordable townhomes.

No matter which type of home you have in mind, you’ll find a wide range of possibilities in this panoramic landscape south of downtown Des Moines.
