Living in downtown Des Moines is truly unlike any other city in the metro. You’ll find bike-friendly streets and trails, a wetland basin inhabited by nature and the Coleman Bridge, a pedestrian bridge overlooking the Raccoon River. Connect to more than 500 miles of biking, walking and jogging paths that will take you all over central Iowa. The Western Gateway and Court Avenue District are both within five minutes’ walking distance from your front door, meaning access to the best restaurants, entertainment venues and festivals.
