Why Live in East Village

The gilded dome and columns of the Iowa State Capital are visible from virtually any angle in East Village, a food and commerce district across the river from downtown Des Moines. Symbols of the neighborhood’s identity and culture appear in the closer periphery—street murals splashed across the side of local bars, plant-laden condo and apartment windows above West Elm or Zombie Burger, and a public piano leaking rainbows onto the surrounding sidewalk. Flyers for upcoming concerts at Wooly’s and volunteer opportunities are taped to many shop windows, along with Pride Network stickers for participating stores—East Village is the centerpiece of Des Moines’ LGBTQ+ community and hosts Capital City PrideFest each June. The neighborhood began with several square blocks, but as the commercial boom swept through the city, it expanded into the current restaurant, bar and retail hub. This rich past is evident in architecture entries on the National Register of Historic Places, even as new developments arrive year after year. East Village has a 75% renter population, though some of the private and mixed-use buildings are condo communities. Prices range from $170,000 to $300,000, and complexes
