Amazing!
October 9, 2025Due to a nod opportunity I needed a place to move into immediately. I was moving from another state and had never been to Des Moines before so I rented the apartment sight unseen. Emily the manager and her team were very helpful and transparent throughout the entire process. The apartment was just as they described it and I am very happy with it. My very stressful situation was made less so by this wonderful team. I am truly thankful!Property Manager Responded
October 12, 2025We are ecstatic to hear Emily and our team made your stressful move easier. Thank you for trusting us sight unseen!
