Valley High Manor pairs quiet, tree-shaded streets with excellent access to everything western Des Moines offers. Set near the borders of West Des Moines and Windsor Heights in Polk County, the neighborhood places outdoor escapes, everyday conveniences, and culture within a few minutes of home. Weekend routines often include a spin along the Walnut Creek Trail, a quick nine at historic Waveland Golf Course, or a visit to the galleries and sculpture garden at the acclaimed Des Moines Art Center.
Families value the strong local school pipeline through Des Moines Public Schools, with nearby Hanawalt Elementary School, Merrill Middle School, and Roosevelt High School. Daily errands are simple thanks to the University Avenue corridor and the shops and eateries at Valley West Mall just across the city line. Commuters appreciate swift connections via I‑235, while evenings bring easy options—coffee on Ingersoll, a concert at the Art Center, or a sunset stroll along Walnut Creek.
Housing here tends to include well-kept midcentury ranches and split-levels on generous lots, with mature canopies that make summer evenings especially pleasant. Residents often remark on the relaxed pace: sidewalks that see frequent dog walkers, neighbors who know each other by name, and a sense of being close to the action without the bustle on your doorstep.
