South Central DSM Multifamily Home for Sale

South Central DSM in Des Moines is a neighborhood characterized by its mid-1960s and 1970s single-family homes, including ranch-style, split-levels, and bungalows, alongside some duplexes and apartment communities. The area features the Southland Mobile Home Park centrally, with homes often having driveway-only parking, though some offer garages. The neighborhood is marked by narrow sidewalks and streetlights in the north, while the south lacks sidewalks but has gently rolling roads. Residents enjoy the freedom to personalize their homes without a homeowner’s association. The South Des Moines Sculpture Park stands out with its unique structures, while nearby Fort Des Moines Park offers trails, a fishing lake, and educational signage. For aquatic fun, the Nahas Aquatic Center is a short drive away. Shopping is convenient with major retailers like Walmart, Aldi, and Target along Southeast 14th Street and Southridge Mall. Dining options range from local favorites like Tasty Tacos to national chains. The neighborhood is well-connected, with Highway Iowa 5 and U.S. Route 69 providing access to Des Moines International Airport, just 2 miles away, and downtown Des Moines, about 4 miles away. While the local schools are part of the Des Moines Independent Community School District, they do not have high ratings.
