IS DES MOINES A NICE PLACE TO LIVE? LET'S FIND OUT TOGETHER!


Des Moines, the capital city of Iowa, with a metro area of over 680,000 people is ranked # 14 of the most desirable cities to live in the U.S. according to a U.S. News analysis, and for good reason.

The walkable downtown Des Moines area with many locally owned restaurants and shops, quick access to bike or walking trails, a lake with a beach nearby and the #2 ranked farmer's market in the U.S. which spans over 8 blocks, has plenty to offer.


The area attracts a growing number of hip millennials to the area with the 80/35 & Hinterland music festivals, many arts & cultural events and a booming night life.


The cost of doing business in the Des Moines area is 12% lower than the national average. It has long been the center of the insurance industry in the country and has more recently a hub for many tech companies, being dubbed a Silicon Prairie.


With a low cost of living, ranked #12 for cheapest places to live in the U.S., and plenty of surrounding suburbs to choose from, with Ankeny and West Des Moines being 2 of the fastest growing cities in Iowa, you'll love calling Des Moines home.
