Why Live in Greater South Side

The Greater South Side of Des Moines, located south of the city along the Raccoon River, offers a suburban atmosphere with convenient access to local amenities. This neighborhood features a variety of home styles, including condos, townhouses, midcentury modern homes, and ranch-style houses, many of which are set on rolling hills with well-landscaped yards and shaded sidewalks. Residents enjoy proximity to Gray’s Lake Park, MacRae Park, and the Meredith, Bill Riley, and Kruidenier Walking Trails, providing numerous things to do outdoors. The Wakonda Club, with its 18-hole golf course and swimming pools, adds to the recreational options. Dining options include the Angry Goldfish Pub & Eatery, Skip’s, and Confluence Brewing Company, offering a range of casual and traditional American fare. For shopping, a Hy-Vee grocery store is conveniently located south of Watrous Avenue, and a large farmers’ market operates downtown from May through October.

Local events such as the Des Moines Arts Festival and the Iowa State Fair provide cultural and entertainment opportunities.
