Why Live in Union Park

Union Park in Des Moines is a historic neighborhood named after one of the city's oldest parks, Union Park, established in 1894. The area features homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s, including Victorian-style houses, Foursquares, Craftsmans, and bungalows, all set on grassy lawns with mature trees. The neighborhood is a blend of lifelong residents and young families, fostering a strong sense of community through events like Shiver at the Park and the annual Dam to Des Moines Half Marathon. Union Park itself is a hub of activity, with open spaces for sports, the Heritage Carousel, and the iconic Rocket Slide playground. Adjacent Birdland Park offers additional recreational opportunities with playgrounds, open spaces, and a walking path along the Des Moines River, home to the Des Moines Rowing and Boat Club. Local dining options include Captain Roy’s at Birdland Marina, serving American classics and hosting concerts on a pontoon-turned-stage. Nearby chain restaurants and grocery stores like Fareway Meat and Grocery and Hy-Vee are within a few miles, while larger retailers such as Target and Walmart are about 6 miles away. The neighborhood is served by the Des Moines Independent Community School District, with schools like Findley Elementary, Harding Middle, and North High School. Grand View University, located at the top of the neighborhood, offers various undergraduate and graduate programs and encourages community involvement. Union Park is bicycle-friendly, with access to nearly 70 miles of paved trails, and has several bus stops along East 14th Street leading to Downtown Des Moines. Des Moines International Airport is approximately 9 miles away, providing direct flights to numerous U.S. destinations. The closest emergency room is about 1 mile away at UnityPoint Health. The neighborhood benefits from Des Moines Water Works' efforts to ensure safe drinking water, despite some pollution concerns in the Des Moines River.
