Why Live in Downtown Des Moines

Downtown Des Moines blends small-town charm with urban convenience, offering a vibrant arts and food scene alongside outdoor recreation. Principal Park, home to the Iowa Cubs minor-league baseball team, is on the neighborhood’s east side, right by the confluence of the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers. Residents enjoy evening walks along the Riverwalk and frequent the Downtown Farmers’ Market on Saturdays. Housing options include contemporary townhouses and various condos, such as industrial-chic lofts. Des Moines Public Schools serves the area with Walnut Street School, Callanan Middle School and Roosevelt High. Rotary Riverwalk Park, Lauridsen Skatepark and the Robert D. Ray Asian Garden provide green spaces. Cultural attractions include the Des Moines Civic Center, Western Gateway Park and the Temple for the Performing Arts. Dining and nightlife thrive in the Historic Court District, featuring spots like Johnny’s Hall of Fame and 300 Craft & Rooftop. Annual events, such as the Des Moines Arts Festival and the World Food & Music Festival, add to the neighborhood's lively atmosphere. The area is walkable and bikeable, with a roughly 4-mile network of skywalks and Des Moines Area Regional Transit (DART) bus routes.
