Good overall!
March 30, 2025
Lived 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.

Cityville is home
February 8, 2021
Cityville makes you feel like you are at home. They have awesome amenities for me and my puppy. My most favorite part of living here is the walk way that leads to Greys Lake. We love that mile walk!

good place to live
February 7, 2021
I’ve been living here for a few years. Amenities are good. I like their coffee machine. Apartments are nice too. Their gym isn’t bad either. I like the outdoor amenities as well (pool, dog park, outdoor grilling, etc.)

Great Location, Great Amenities, Great Layout!!
February 7, 2021
I absolutely LOVE living at Cityville. It is super close to downtown, and the walking/biking paths to Grey's Lake. The layout of the apartment is unique, in a super functional way.

Love the downtown location!!
February 1, 2021
Cityville 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!!!
