Owl's Head Historic District pairs early-20th-century craftsmanship with easy access to culture, dining, and green space. Tree-lined blocks showcase handsome Craftsman bungalows, Tudor Revivals, and foursquares with deep porches—homes that reflect the district’s long-standing focus on preservation and neighborhood pride. A quick stroll leads to the governor’s residence at Terrace Hill, sweeping lawns and all, and the galleries and sculpture garden of the Des Moines Art Center, set within the rolling landscape of Greenwood Park.
Local life hums along nearby Ingersoll and Grand, where independent restaurants, cafes, and boutiques anchor the pedestrian-friendly Avenues district. Weekends often start with a coffee run and end with a sunset walk or a bike ride—quiet streets and nearby trails make it simple to get outside. Commuters appreciate reliable service from DART, keeping downtown and major employers within easy reach.
Families benefit from well-regarded public schools. Neighborhood students typically attend Greenwood Elementary, move on to Callanan Middle School, and graduate from Roosevelt High School, known for strong academics, the arts, and spirited community support.
If you’re considering a move, Owl’s Head Historic District offers architectural character without giving up convenience—ideal for buyers seeking a storybook streetscape and sellers ready to showcase a timeless home. Agent Pronto can match you with a knowledgeable local agent to guide your next step, whether you’re buying or selling.
