Why Live in Greater South Side

The Greater South Side of Des Moines, set along the Raccoon River just south of downtown, blends a quiet suburban vibe with easy access to city perks. Homes here include condos, townhouses, midcentury moderns, and ranch-style houses, many perched on rolling hills and shaded by mature trees. Yards are well-kept, and sidewalks see plenty of use from neighbors out walking. Nature lovers enjoy being close to Gray’s Lake, MacRae Park and a network of trails—including the Meredith, Bill Riley, and Kruidenier—ideal for biking or a stroll. The nearby Wakonda Club offers golf and swimming, while local favorites like Angry Goldfish Pub & Eatery, Skip’s and Confluence Brewing keep dining casual and welcoming. Shopping is convenient with Hy-Vee on Watrous Avenue and a downtown farmers’ market running through summer and fall. Fleur Drive makes getting to downtown and the airport simple, and city buses connect the area. Community events like the Des Moines Arts Festival and Iowa State Fair are calendar highlights. Residents should be aware of elevated environmental risks, like strong storms and occasional water quality advisories for the Raccoon River.
