Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

Located on 18th Street the property sits at the edge of Sherman Hill and the Drake/University corridor, one SE of Drake University. The area is a mix of historic, tree-lined residential blocks, student-oriented rental housing and renovated multi-unit buildings. Walking distance to hospitals, local cafés, bars and restaurants, and a short walk or bike ride to downtown Des Moines and the East Village entertainment and dining district. The vibe is urban + residential with frequent foot traffic during the school year and easy access to downtown events and cultural attractions.
