Luxury Real Estate in Des Moines
Des Moines's high-value housing sits in South of Grand, Waterbury and the western suburbs of West Des Moines and Clive.
What Sets Value Here
Lot size, mature planting and street position, alongside school attendance in the western suburbs. Older architecture south of Grand carries its own following.
What Sellers Should Know
The buyer pool is regional and turnover at the top is slow. Properties that come to market well prepared find their buyer; those that do not sit visibly.
What Buyers Should Know
Older systems, foundations and drainage on established housing all warrant specialist inspection. On acreage beyond the city, establish water and access separately.
