Prospect Park, located between Grand Avenue and Ingersoll Avenue, is a historic and residential Des Moines neighborhood with a bluff-top park and tree-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Prospect Park overlook, where skyline views and looping paths set a calm, social rhythm. Early-20th-century houses and tidy apartment buildings define the streetscape, with porches, brick details, and mature canopy trees. Greenwood Park’s trails and open lawns shape daily routines around walking and casual recreation. Ingersoll’s independent dining and coffee scene sits at the edge, with spots like Zanzibar’s Coffee Adventure and The Cheese Shop of Des Moines acting as local anchors. The Des Moines Art Center and its sculpture park add a cultural counterpoint nearby.

Great updated home in an established neighborhood. Refinished hardwood floors really show off all the natural light. The kitchen is stylishly updated with plenty of storage. The home has 2 bedrooms and an updated bath but there is additional space in the walk-up attic that could be finished. A nice screened-in porch is off the dining area which is the perfect spot to enjoy the spacious yard. The plumbing, electrical, and HVAC have been recently updated saving you on future expenses. A 1 car garage adds for parking or extra storage. Schedule a showing today.
