Why Live in Greenwood

Greenwood is a peaceful Des Moines neighborhood set between Grand Avenue and the Raccoon River, best known for its historic mansions and riverbank estates from the 1800s and early 1900s. Streets wind through rolling hills and thick greenery, and houses range from Colonial Revival to Tudor Revival and Victorian, creating a secluded, suburban vibe. Locals enjoy 80-acre Greenwood Park, which has a sprayground, an amphitheater, and an ice rink, while neighboring Ashworth Park features walking trails and picnic spots. Water Works Park and Gray’s Lake expand outdoor options with boating, canoeing, and festivals. Favorite dining spots include Eatery A for Mediterranean flavors and The Station on Ingersoll, a laid-back gastropub. Daily errands are easy with Price Chopper, Gateway Market, and larger stores in Windsor Heights all close by. Valley West Mall and Merle Hay Mall—both within six miles—add even more options for shopping, movies, and bowling. Greenwood’s spot near downtown and Ingersoll Avenue means entertainment and city events, from the Iowa State Fair to the World Food and Music Festival, are always within reach. While weekend biking is popular, getting around for work and errands usually means driving. Medical care at Iowa Methodist Medical Center and the airport are both a quick trip from the neighborhood.
