Why Live in Meredith

Meredith is a quiet, residential neighborhood on Des Moines’ northwest side that offers a suburban atmosphere while remaining close to the city’s major amenities. Known for its mature trees, winding streets and low‑key feel, Meredith appeals to residents who value space, privacy and convenience over nightlife or density. While the neighborhood itself is calm, it sits just minutes from shopping, dining and entertainment options near Merle Hay Mall, as well as quick routes to downtown. Housing in Meredith includes a mix of ranch‑style homes, split‑levels, Cape Cods, bungalows and New Traditional designs. Home prices typically range from the mid‑$100,000s to the mid‑$500,000s, with some higher‑end properties reaching above that, reflecting the neighborhood’s appeal to move‑up buyers. Families are drawn to Meredith because it is served by two school districts—Des Moines Public Schools and Johnston Community School District—offering multiple education pathways, including highly regarded high schools and dual‑enrollment options. Outdoor recreation is another highlight, with easy access to the Des Moines River, nearby trails, Sycamore Wildlife Area and neighborhood parks like Westchester Park.
