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.
