Ready to build flat lot perfect for a new home. Located near the Birdland Marina, Captain Roy's, the Des Moines River, and Union Park including all of its amenities such as the splash pad and rocket slide. All utilities should be ready and available.
Union Park, located between the Des Moines River and East 14th Street, is a historic and residential Des Moines neighborhood with a classic park centerpiece and a grid of early-20th-century homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Union Park itself, where ballfields, picnic lawns, and the carousel draw steady foot traffic. Brick foursquares and compact bungalows line leafy blocks, giving the streetscape a consistent, lived-in rhythm. The Union Park Carousel & Kiddie Rides adds a distinctly local note, pairing nostalgia with community gatherings. Nearby, the Iowa State Fairgrounds and the State Historical Museum of Iowa extend the area’s calendar with exhibitions and big-event energy.
