Drake, located between University Avenue and Interstate 235, is a historic and academic Des Moines neighborhood with collegiate energy and tree-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along 25th Street near University Avenue, where coffee counters, casual eateries, and campus foot traffic set the daily rhythm. Drake University and the Drake University Observatory act as cultural anchors, with the Drake Relays bringing a signature seasonal pulse. Early-20th-century houses and brick apartment buildings frame walkable blocks that shift from quiet porches to busier storefronts. Pocket parks and the nearby river corridor add green breaks between classes, errands, and evening events.
