North Side Renaissance
Highland Park and Oak Park represent one of the most dynamic pockets of revitalization within Des Moines. The housing stock here serves as a timeline of the city’s early expansion, featuring a rich collection of turn-of-the-century Victorians, Arts and Crafts foursquares, and sturdy bungalows. This area has become a magnet for buyers looking for architectural character and restoration opportunities at a price point that remains accessible compared to the city's established western historic districts.
The neighborhood is anchored by the resurgence of the local commercial district along Euclid Avenue, creating a genuine, walkable urban village feel. Buying here means participating in a "North Side" renaissance, combining deep historical roots—and proximity to the river and Riverview Park—with the energy of an up-and-coming marketplace.
Historic Charm & Modern Renaissance
Highland Park and Oak Park are historic north-side neighborhoods currently experiencing a vibrant commercial renaissance. Anchored by the Euclid Avenue corridor, this area feels like a "small town" within the city, where long-time staples like Chuck’s Restaurant sit alongside trendy newcomers like The Slow Down and Des Moines Mercantile.
The housing stock is rich with character, featuring affordable brick Tudors and Craftsman bungalows. With the recent revitalization of Riverview Park—once the site of a historic amusement park—residents enjoy a dynamic mix of community-focused retail, river access, and a distinct, independent spirit just minutes from downtown.
Reimagining Education
The adjacent neighborhoods of Highland Park and Oak Park are served by Des Moines Public Schools.
Education in this north side community is anchored by Oak Park Elementary, an institution deeply integrated into the neighborhood's fabric. As students advance, they typically attend Harding Middle School before moving on to North High School, a school celebrated for its diverse student body and long-standing traditions.
As with other Des Moines neighborhoods, students here benefit from access to the advanced career and technical programs at Central Campus, as well as the full complement of Des Moines private school options.
