Greenwood Historic, located between Grand Avenue and Ingersoll Avenue, is a historic and residential Des Moines neighborhood with early-20th-century homes and leafy, walkable blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Ingersoll Avenue corridor near 42nd Street, where patios, storefront windows, and evening foot traffic set a steady, social rhythm. Architectural details lean Craftsman bungalows and brick Tudors, with deep porches and mature trees shaping the streetscape. Greenwood Park adds a green pause for courts, open lawn, and casual meetups. Local pillars include the Des Moines Art Center, the Rose Garden, and the Greenwood Park shelter area, tying daily life to culture and outdoor space.
