Des Moines Iowa Real Estate

Having just won the 2010 Forbes ranking as the "Best Place for Business", it's easy to see why Des Moines, Iowa is the most populous city in the state, Iowa's capital city, and plays an important part in Presidential politics during the Iowa caucuses on election years.

Ours is a major area for the insurance industry and several large financial corporations. The railroads started the city's growth after the civil war, and a near 50 years of coal mining added to its expansion. Several floods have kept the city renewed, and in the 2000's, we have seen major reconstruction in the downtown areas, with libraries, a scenic riverwalk, fountains, gardens, and many buildings renovated into elegant Des Moines condos and loft apartments. An annexation of over 5000 acres in three of its four corners added almost a thousand new residents to the population. Des Moines' suburban communities include Altoona, Ankeny, Bondurant, Carlisle, Clive, Grimes, Johnston, Norwalk, Pleasant Hill, Urbandale, Waukee, West Des Moines, and Windsor Heights.

Des Moines Iowa Capital Building

Des Moines is also a cultural mecca for the state, with museums, Broadway shows, the Des Moines Metro Opera, and even frequent Symphony performances adding to our city's allure. The many career opportunities, low crime rate, arts and theatrical venues, and educational opportunities make the Des Moines area a really great place to live and work!

As more people move to our city we need all kinds of housing, and that's what we specialize in. Our website will make choosing a place to live fun and exciting for you, and our experience and advice in finding a Des Moines home will help you to avoid the pitfalls of bad investments.
