Housing

Mid-Century Durability

Defined by mid-century residential design, the housing stock is dominated by sturdy, all-brick ranch homes and split-levels built primarily during the 1950s and 1960s. These structures are prized for their good bones, typically featuring original hardwood floors, generous basements, and practical layouts situated on established, functional lots.

Economically, this neighborhood serves as a competitive anchor for the entry-level market. It is characterized by high transaction volume and rapid inventory turnover, driven by buyers seeking affordability without sacrificing structural quality. Because of the masonry construction, these homes offer reliable value retention, presenting a stable investment opportunity for first-time buyers looking to build equity with minimal maintenance risk.

Quiet Suburban Living

Lower Beaver is widely regarded as a hidden gem in northwest Des Moines, offering established mid-century charm with exceptional value. Known for its sturdy brick ranches and spacious yards, the neighborhood provides a peaceful, residential atmosphere distinct from the city’s bustle. At its heart lies Woodlawn Park, a community hub featuring a popular splash pad and sports courts that bring neighbors together.

The area is prized for its accessibility, boasting convenient connections to major thoroughfares that make commuting across the metro effortless. With easy access to the Neal Smith Trail for outdoor enthusiasts, Lower Beaver offers a perfect balance of quiet living and active recreation, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a friendly, low-key community.

Reimagining Education

The Lower Beaver neighborhood offers a quiet, residential setting served by Des Moines Public Schools. The educational heart of the community is Samuelson Elementary, located directly within the neighborhood’s boundaries. As students advance, they typically attend Meredith Middle School and Hoover High School. Hoover is particularly notable for its rigorous focus on STEM education and International Baccalaureate (IB) programs.

For families exploring alternatives, the neighborhood's accessible location ensures a manageable commute to the extensive network of private and parochial schools found throughout the Des Moines metro area.
