Why Live in Westwood

Westwood, located on the western edge of Des Moines, offers a blend of suburban comfort and natural beauty, surrounded by woodlands, rivers, and parks. This neighborhood is known for its spacious lawns and privacy, with a variety of home styles including Victorian, Craftsman, Cape Cod, Tudor, and Colonial, as well as midcentury split-levels and ranch-style homes. While sidewalks are rare, the area is characterized by mature trees and stone fences. Westwood is conveniently connected to downtown Des Moines, less than 4 miles east, via Grand Avenue, and is close to the Des Moines International Airport, 8 miles southeast. The neighborhood is within walking distance of the Val-Gate District, a hub for shopping and dining, and offers access to extensive bike trails. Greenwood Park, with its recreational facilities and scenic nature, is a popular attraction, as is the Des Moines Art Center, which provides art classes for all ages. Dining options range from upscale eateries like Either/Or to familiar franchises. Public transportation is available through the DART bus line. While the area is safer than the national average, residents should be aware of increased flooding risks near the Raccoon River.
