Exclusive Historic Estates
South of Grand stands as the premier historic residential district in Des Moines, offering an exclusive collection of the city's most architecturally significant homes. Often characterized by its rolling topography and winding, wooded streets, the housing stock consists largely of grand, estate-style properties dating from the turn of the 20th century to the mid-century era. The architecture is varied and imposing, featuring sprawling English Tudors, stately Georgian Colonials, and French Provincial mansions, many of which sit on oversized, manicured lots that provide a sense of seclusion and privacy rarely found in an urban setting.
South of Grand operates as a distinct, high-value micro-economy within the metro area. Because these properties are viewed as "forever homes" or generational assets, inventory remains exceptionally tight with historically low turnover rates. When homes do reach the market, they command premium valuations, particularly those that have undergone modernization while retaining their historic provenance. This exclusivity creates a stable, appreciation-heavy environment, making ownership here not just a residential choice, but a significant long-term financial investment in the city’s most resilient real estate sector.
Scenic Seclusion & Cultural Connectivity
South of Grand offers a distinct quality of life defined by its unique topography; the neighborhood breaks away from the city’s standard grid, offering winding, tree-shaded lanes that feel more like a woodland retreat than an urban district. The area’s appeal is anchored by its unrivaled proximity to recreation and culture. The world-class Des Moines Art Centerr and the sprawling Greenwood-Ashworth Park are woven into the fabric of the community, allowing residents to enjoy rose gardens, hiking trails, tennis courts, and a vibrant community pool just steps from their homes.
The daily experience here is one of peaceful privacy balanced with exceptional convenience. While the neighborhood itself is quiet and set apart by its rolling hills, it sits just moments away from the culinary and social energy of Ingersoll Avenue and the downtown corridor. Living here means enjoying a sophisticated sanctuary where one can spend the afternoon immersed in nature or art, and be dining at a top-tier restaurant minutes later, without ever hitting a highway.
Reimagining Education
Families in South of Grand are served by Des Moines Public Schools. The educational heart of the community is Greenwood Elementary, which sits uniquely adjacent to the Des Moines Art Center and the sprawling Greenwood Park. This proximity allows for a curriculum often enriched by art and nature.
As students progress, they typically attend Callanan Middle School, located nearby to the north. High schoolers generally matriculate to Roosevelt High School, which is celebrated for its rigorous academics and spirited alumni network.
While the public school pathway remains a central part of the community's identity, the neighborhood also offers easy access to the private educational options along Grand Avenue and throughout the metro.The [PAGE_TITLE] Real Estate Market
