Jordan Park blends easy city access with a relaxed, residential feel, making it a practical spot for first-time buyers and long-time homeowners alike. Tucked just north of downtown Des Moines, the neighborhood’s tree-canopied blocks feature early- to mid-century homes, yards sized for gardens and play, and quick connections to riverfront green spaces. Weekends often revolve around nearby Union Park picnics and the beloved Heritage Carousel, outdoor shows at Riverview Park’s amphitheater, and quiet moments along the Des Moines River.
Families appreciate the strong public-school options through Des Moines Public Schools, with magnet and neighborhood programs across the north side. The North Side Library anchors community learning with story times, maker activities, and study space. Commuters benefit from DART bus service—DART links Jordan Park to major employment centers—while cyclists tap into the larger trail network serving Polk County.
Local flavor surrounds Jordan Park: the historic corridors and indie storefronts of Highland Park sit just to the west, while the family-friendly vibe of Union Park offers parks, playgrounds, and seasonal events. Dining ranges from classic diners to global bites, with convenient grocery options and neighborhood services close at hand. Evenings are pleasantly low-key, with neighbors out walking dogs, sharing front-porch hellos, and organizing block get-togethers.
