Review from the web

These apartments are great. The courtyard is beautiful & the management is very accommodating. The maintenance has shown up within the hour I’ve called & they’ve fixed the issue in a timely manner (even taught me a thing or two) The location of the building is minutes from downtown & minutes from the interstate. Overall, I’m sad to leave. My apt is spacious & the hardwood floors are a definite perk. The big windows on the SE side give me a nice view of Des Moines University & during the winter the radiators keep my place cozy & warm.

Review from the web

Great place to stay! My favorite part about living here is the roof top. Being able to hang out, grill, and chill by a fire is the best, especially with a view!! So far I've been here almost a year and have had no issues with the building or staff that was not quickly resolved. I do recommend! Management has changed to a new company since most of the last reviews. But personally, I've enjoyed it here.
