About This Home

To truly live downtown in the iconic Plaza is to take advantage of every exciting opportunity Des Moines has to offer. Whether you prefer to take in a Broadway show or concert across the street, walk a block to the Farmer’s Market, catch a baseball game, or have the most unique view of the 4th of July fireworks right from your balcony, the Plaza is in the heart of everything. This immaculate, move-in-ready one-bedroom has everything you need to feel right at home. The beautiful kitchen with an island opens up to the living room with a private balcony, giving you a fantastic view of the city. As a resident of The Plaza, you’ll have access to the gym, pool, tennis courts not to mention the beautiful community room, perfect for entertaining guests. Worried about parking downtown? Don't be! Included is underground parking. You can park your car and not have to drive it again for weeks! Plus...utilities, water, internet, cable TV, lawn maintenance, and outdoor household upkeep (bills that really add up!) are covered in the HOA for you at the Plaza. No more raking leaves, shoveling snow, or worrying about roof repairs. You'll have much more time and money to try out one of the many superb local eateries or take in an outdoor concert. Come experience the excitement of being part of an iconic neighborhood and Plaza community!
