Apartments in Des Moines, IA

“Needed to find an apartment last minute and Kris and everyone at The Parker has been amazing to work with and very accommodating. My unit was renovated and very clean when I arrived! Couldn’t be happier with my place and the community!”

“Keisha is very helpful and friendly whenever there’s an issue she right on top of it. I’ll recommend any who looking for a place to stay. Come speak with Keisha she very welcoming and her energy is the best.”

“After living at cityville for over 3.5 years I can say the change in ownership has been amazing. You can see in previous years from reviews that management has not been helpful nor kind but with the recent change that is now not the case. They are very prompt with responses, I’m now informed with what’s going on in the complex and the grounds are clean. I couldn’t recommend living here more between management, pricing and location.”

“If you want to learn more about Drake West Village, talk with Isaac. Until we found Isaac, we had so many unanswered questions. He answered all of them so thoroughly and politely. He even gave us a tour of the facilities (although no apartments were open to tour those). We followed-up with several more questions by email and phone and Isaac was very responsive and informative. Drake West Village is lucky to have him. He made our experience very enjoyable.”

“I lived here when I was a kid in early/mid 80s. It was a beautifully maintained property then, and I'm happy to learn that nothing has changed. Great memories.”

“I can't say enough great things about living at the Fleming Building these past 2.5 years!Besides just the charm of the actual apartment aesthetically, the management here is AMAZING. The property manager, Dan, is kind, responsive and always helpful. And maintenance was always crazy fast and went above and beyond every time. It doesn't seem like a huge thing, but the staff here truly made the experience as great as it was because they genuinely care about the people who live there.Great place--highly recommend!”

“I have lived here for almost a year. So far everything has gone very well. There has been no issues with other residence whatsoever which I really love. Being a mother of 3, they have a playground area and also a pool which I did not have at the place I lived prior. I live in a 3 bedroom 2 bath that is very spacious and lots of storage. Maintenance responds quickly and that is a plus. Jazmine is the person that actually reached out to me about the availability. She was very easy to talk to and very friendly (even through email without actually meeting first). She is an overall AMAZING person who actually does a great job and really does care about the people within the community. She greets with a smile always and does her very best to make sure things are done when need be and are satisfactory. She makes living here that much better.”

“I am hoping to apply here. I just wanted to say that when I had questions and called, the lady on the phone was kind and seemed ready to help wherever she could. I just wanted to say I appreciated how kind she was on the phone. I definitely want to apply here and maybe call This place home soon.”

“Clean organized place the few times that I’ve been here the staff has been kind to me there’s a good selection of snack and drinks as well as meals for a pretty small store/gas station they do a good job of keeping it open while providing a good clean selection”

“I've lived here for almost 2 years now with no major complaints. My unit is nice enough and I love being right across the street from Fort Des Moines, my dog and I go on walks over there all the time. The only thing I don't understand is that the building I live in (not sure about the other 2) no longer requires a key to get in which makes me feel a lot less safe. It was one of the biggest selling points for me when I moved in and it was taken away.”

“I’ve been here almost a year now. This is the first place that has truly been a home to me in so many years. I love my apartment very much.
When I moved in I was upset about some pet damage from a previous renter on the doorways in the apartment that look like a dog was locked up in the bathroom and the bedroom but that is really the only thing I didn’t like. I documented it and decided to enjoy my home regardless. It is an old apartment complex so I never expected perfection or modern aesthetics.
My neighbors across the hall and downstairs are respectful and nice, saying hello as we run into each other or stopping for a chat.
The maintenance is helpful and nice. Property manager, Alexandra is kind and caring as well.
This is my home and my little ESA buddy, Ghost and I love it here. He loves the courtyard, although he isn’t good with other dogs. All the neighbors keep their pets leashed so that’s a big plus for me and I appreciate it very much as well. There is one issue I find every now and then where a pet owner didn’t pick up after their dog but I don’t notice it too often and I’m not always stepping in it.
There is also a concrete slab in the courtyard that I have used to roller skate on a few times now as I have degenerative muscles in my legs- it’s great to have a little spot to get myself moving. I’m sure it would be great for tennis, pickleball, badminton etc. the courtyard has some nice picnic spots as well that I plan on taking advantage of when it cools off a bit.
Don’t expect a perfect modern apartment here. This place clearly has a history and charm to it. I enjoy adding my kitschy decor to my place- slowly making it more and more cozy. The main rooms are spacious as well.
In my part of the complex, my particular neighbors make me feel safe here as well.
I love that I have so many places to walk to and it’s even across the street from Des Moines University- where my family medicine doctor is located as well as my podiatrist. It encourages me to be more active!
Thank you all very much.”

“I had a wonderful call with a person named Bailey she was very knowledgeable about the property and answered all my questions.
I have been calling places and it was refreshing that someone actually answered the call and not some answering service. ?great”
