Pre-War Character
Waveland Park is defined by its picturesque, pre-war housing stock, primarily developed between the 1920s and 1940s. The streetscapes offer a rich diversity of architectural styles, featuring English Tudors, red brick Colonials, and sturdy Craftsman bungalows. Unlike standardized post-war tracts, these homes are prized for distinct character elements, including steep rooflines, arched doorways, and original hardwood detailing, all framed by a canopy of mature trees.
The real estate market here is robust, driven by buyers specifically seeking architectural integrity. Waveland Park commands a price premium over adjacent neighborhoods due to the scarcity of historic craftsmanship. Inventory holds value exceptionally well, with strong competition for homes that have modernized systems while preserving period details, serving as a stable move-up market for design-conscious buyers.
Scenic Hills & Charm
Waveland Park is widely considered one of the most picturesque neighborhoods in Des Moines, defined by its rolling hills and majestic tree canopy. The area wraps around the historic Waveland Golf Course, the oldest municipal course west of the Mississippi, creating a sprawling green sanctuary perfect for golfers, sledders, and walkers alike.
The streets are renowned for their character-rich architecture, featuring stunning brick Tudors and Colonials that attract those who appreciate timeless craftsmanship. Residents enjoy unique cultural amenities like the Drake Municipal Observatory for public stargazing. Blending natural beauty with enduring residential elegance, Waveland Park offers a sophisticated yet active lifestyle just minutes from the city center.
Reimagining Education
Waveland Park offers a classic residential atmosphere served by Des Moines Public Schools. The neighborhood is culturally anchored by Roosevelt High School, an architectural landmark and academic hub located just outside its borders. Younger students typically attend Hubbell Elementary, an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School known for its historic building, or Perkins Elementary. These students generally progress to Merrill Middle School before joining the Roosevelt "Roughriders."
For families considering other options, the neighborhood’s central location provides convenient access to the extensive network of private and parochial schools situated throughout the Des Moines metro area.
