Chautauqua Park opens the door to a west-side pocket of Des Moines, where tree-lined blocks and century-old craftsmanship create a comfortable, close-to-everything lifestyle. Residents enjoy weekend tee times at Waveland Golf Course, a historic municipal course, and evening strolls that reach the locally loved dining and boutiques along The Avenues of Ingersoll & Grand. A few minutes south, the Des Moines Art Center anchors Greenwood Park with world-class exhibits and free admission, making culture an easy part of daily life.
Families appreciate strong public school options through Des Moines Public Schools, with Hubbell Elementary and Roosevelt High School offering standout programs in academics, arts, and athletics. Housing here ranges from classic Craftsman and Tudor Revival to thoughtfully updated midcentury homes, often with generous yards and front porches that encourage conversation.
Commuting is simple, and weekend errands rarely require a long drive—grocers, coffee shops, and services in neighboring Waveland Park round out the conveniences. The neighborhood’s calm streets and canopy of old-growth trees make it a favorite for runners, cyclists, and dog walkers, while its central location puts larger city destinations within easy reach.
