North Side Living
Union Park anchors the near-north side of Des Moines with a deep sense of history and nostalgia. The housing stock here consists largely of early 20th-century bungalows, modest cottages, and traditional foursquares.
These homes often represent a high-value entry point into the Des Moines market, offering character and solid construction at a price point that is generally more accessible than the western historic districts.
For buyers, this area combines the charm of mature, tree-lined streets with affordability, excellent proximity to Grand View University, and a short commute to the downtown core.
