About Argonne Apartments

The Argonne was built at the corner of 17th and Grand in 1919 when this area of Grand Ave housed the original "Auto Row" in Des Moines. It was built to house people working at the Ford plant across the street, which is now the Des Moines Schools Central Campus. With 4 stories of apartments above its street-level retail, the Argonne's first-floor retail space used to house a Packard showroom and a Cadillac repair shop. The building was restored and modernized in 2020, retaining the original charm and the first-floor retail space. Renovations were respectful of the original building, but did add modern conveniences like dishwashers and in-home laundry. Parking is available on-site.

Argonne Apartments is located in the Downtown Des Moines Neighborhood and 50309 Zip code of Des Moines, IA. This community is professionally managed by Newbury Living

  • Great place

    January 26, 2023
    I have called my apartment home for almost a year now, and despite some issues, I have received fast service. The building manager also made sure to keep in touch when things went crazy! Like the one time my breaker got tripped(didn’t realize this at the time it’s my first place alone) , all I had to do was send a message to the manager and she got someone up there asap to help. While my apartment was a little small for me, mostly cause I am a maximalist at heart these apartments are beautiful ...
    and historic! Glad this place was a safe haven for me and my cat

  • Great deal on western gateway apartment

    November 21, 2022
    Lived on the top floor in a studio and was pleased with it. Great hardwood floors and new amenities in unit. Would recommend this to anyone who's looking for a deal in the western gateway of Des Moines. I do not have a dog so this was a con for me, but could see this as a pro for others with one.
