The new company that took over The des Moines building, doing a great job. Emily in the office real professional at her job, and very easy to talk to. Edit (12/1/23) I've now been living in this building for 1 year now. It's a perfect location. Just a short walk to hyvee, wallgreens, Dollar General and to the dart bus station. It's also connected to the skywalk. It's also right by three bus stops.
