Beaverdale, located between Beaver Avenue and Merle Hay Road, is a residential and walkable Des Moines neighborhood with brick “Beaverdale Brick” homes and a leafy, hill-and-hollow streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Beaver Avenue near Urbandale Avenue, where coffee counters, a classic barbershop feel, and small storefronts set a steady, local rhythm. The Beaverdale Tap and The Slow Down Coffee Co. act as familiar anchors for casual meetups and weekend routines. Streets curve past tidy lawns and mature trees, and many houses feature steep gables and arched doorways. Drake University and the Des Moines River corridor sit nearby, shaping a bike-and-stroll lifestyle without changing Beaverdale’s calm cadence.

Incredible location in the heart of Beaverdale! Near parks and Holy Trinity. Beautiful tree lined, cul de sac location. The seller grew up in the home and bought it as an adult to raise her own family in the same wonderful home. Gorgeous hardwood floors throughout first and second floor. Updated kitchen with stainless appliances that will all stay. New windows throughout, including beautiful bow windows in formal dining and kitchen, that overlook the serene backyard. Large deck and screened porch area over look the patio and shed for extra storage. Family room is spacious with working wood burning fireplace and new carpet. Upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms including a very surprising master with incredible walk in closet and it's own 3/4 bath. Lots of storage space, walkout basement and 2 car attached garage, all hard to come by in Beaverdale! Updated furnace and AC. Really not much for you to do, but move right in and start making memories!
