Great location
August 21, 2025What a great community, so many amenities! Neighbors have been great and site staff has been very professional and quick to respond. A must see!!Property Manager Responded
August 25, 2025We are thrilled to hear you love the great location, amenities, and community! Thank you for recommending us.
Review from Apartments.com
Good overall!
March 30, 2025Lived here for over a year. Pros: Love the proximity to Grays Lake and downtown! The free parking is awesome, but spots fill up and I often have to park on the street. Cons: Expensive. Walls are extremely thin and the pounding footsteps from the person living above me are SO loud. I liked it better when Indigo managed the property…Artisan is not responsive and has ghosted me several times when I’ve had questions about things. 2 of the 3 treadmills have been broken for ages.Property Manager Responded
April 11, 2025We apologize for the issues you've experienced during your stay. Your thoughts are important to us. Please reach out to our property manager at 515.274.7007 so we can discuss further. Thank you.

Love the downtown location!!
February 1, 2021Cityville is the perfect location for anyone wanting to live near downtown Des Moines! It’s a close drive or walk to court ave, walking distance to Gray’s lake, and the area is continuing to grow! The apartment itself has a spacious, modern feel with all the amenities you could think of. I also enjoyed the dog park, pool, and cookout area when the weather is nice. 10/10 would recommend!!!Property Manager Responded
