About this apartment rental
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.
Public transit: Des Moines Area Regional Transit (DART) operates several bus routes serving downtown and the university corridor; downtown has DART Central Station for transfers. Biking & walking: very walkable for campus, downtown and nearby restaurants; good bikeability with dedicated lanes on some nearby streets. Rideshare & taxis: widely available in downtown/University area for quick trips and airport transfers. Car: on-street parking and free lot; short drives to major city destinations. Regional rail: Des Moines currently lacks direct Amtrak passenger rail service — intercity rail requires travel to the nearest Amtrak-served station outside the city. Intercity bus: Greyhound/other intercity bus services operate from near downtown (short drive). Airport: Des Moines International Airport (DSM) is the nearest airport and is a short drive south of the city.
Free parking: lot in the back or on the street in front.
