Now don't be mislead, a big portion of condos and townhome are actually outside of the downtown areas. Many empty nesters tend to move to townhomes when all the kids are moved out or when they just simply do not want to maintain and upkeep their home anymore. With the convenience of minimal HOA fees, they can have their lawns mowed and driveways plowed when it snows, making it a wonderful living experience.
If you are looking for a Des Moines condo or townhome, you definitely have plenty to choose from. There are the brand new and renovated condos and lofts downtown all over. The price range can vary depending on size, updates and location, but some examples would be close to $200k around the Riverwalk and about $300k off of Grand.
Others include the 4th Street Condos, with underground parking, 1 or 2 bedrooms and an extra room to use as a study or office, and the townhomes at Druid Hill, which offer 2-4 bedrooms, huge living spaces, and up to a 3 car garage. Druid Hill condos can go up to nearly $400k for those who are willing to pay for the extra luxury and space.
