Why Live in Highland Park

Highland Park is an up‑and‑coming Des Moines neighborhood known for its historic business district, walkable streets and growing sense of momentum. While the area feels distinctly residential, it remains well connected to the rest of the city. Residents can easily walk to locally owned shops, coffeehouses and restaurants along Euclid Avenue and Sixth Avenue, giving the neighborhood an old‑Main‑Street feel within an urban setting. Most homes are bungalows and Craftsman‑style houses, along with Cape Cods, ranch-style homes, Colonial Revival two‑stories, Foursquares and Tudors built primarily in the first half of the 1900s. Many properties have been thoughtfully renovated, while others remain renovation‑ready, offering opportunities for customization. Home prices generally range from the low $50,000s to the mid‑$300,000s, with a median in the mid‑$100,000s—lower than Union Park and Marquisville and on par with Capitol Park. Community life is active and welcoming, supported by the Highland Park/Oak Park Neighborhood Association, which hosts regular events. Families are served by Des Moines Public Schools, with multiple schools located within the neighborhood, while Grand View University sits nearby. Highland Park’s proximity to Downtown Des Moines, access to public transit and closeness to Interstate 35 and Interstate 80 make commuting straightforward, whether by car, bike or bus.
