Old School Grandeur
Sherman Hill stands as Des Moines’ oldest residential district, distinguished by a dense concentration of late 19th-century Victorian architecture. The housing stock is architecturally significant, featuring imposing Queen Anne, Italianate, and Second Empire structures characterized by steep rooflines, turrets, and intricate ornate detailing. Unlike suburban tracts, this enclave serves as a preserved timeline of high-style historic construction.
The real estate market here is defined by scarcity and provenance. Properties are split between grand single-family restorations and historic multi-family conversions. Values are insulated by historic district protections, commanding a premium for architectural integrity. This market attracts buyers and tenants who value walkability and unique character, with fully restored manors achieving some of the city’s highest valuations due to their irreplaceable craftsmanship.

Sherman Hill holds the distinction of being Des Moines’ oldest residential neighborhood, revered for its dense collection of restored Victorian, Queen Anne, and Italianate architecture.
