The Maxwell is updated & modern style, the amenities, cleanliness, the management, community and my absolute favorite part is the location! You can't beat it with access to the skyways (especially in the winter) and all the things Des Moines has to offer. You will love it!

But the real standout is the incredible amenity deck: a stunning rooftop space with grilling stations, and cozy lounging areas that make every day feel like a vacation. The units are modern and spacious, maintenance is prompt, and the staff is friendly and responsive. If you're looking for upscale living in ...

Des Moines, this is the place! Highly recommend—5 stars all the way!
