South Side Heritage
Columbus Park offers you a distinct slice of Des Moines history, serving as an anchor for the city’s celebrated "South Side." The housing stock here is defined by modest, early-to-mid-20th-century bungalows and cottages that reflect the area's deep roots and tight-knit community feel. Unlike the sprawling new developments found in the suburbs, these homes often feature classic craftsmanship at approachable price points.
And because Columbus Park is an approved Invest DSM Special Investment District you may be eligible for lucrative renovation incentives.
Living here places you just minutes from downtown Des Moines, offering exceptional urban convenience without the density of the central business district. It is a market suited for those valuing character, established neighbors, and a strong sense of local heritage.
