Downtown Housing

Downtown Des Moines has a variety of choices for both purchasers and renters. More and more condos and apartments are being built every month.

Our vibant downtown rebirth is bringing in young professionals, senior executives and even couples with children to discover that living downtown can offer them a wide-range of possibilities to provide them with an urban lifestlye that offers them everything they want. You can choose from a cosmopolitan setting in a high-rise condo either NY Upper-West Side apartment style or maybe a more urban NY Greenwich loft style condo. We also have luxurious new brownstones with cozy fireplaces or maybe a one-room loft in a recently revitalized warehouse.

There are a lot of residential options to choose from for both those looking to purchase and those looking to rent.
