About Merle

Hay

Merle Hay, located between I-235 and I-80/35, is a commercial and residential Des Moines neighborhood with a mall corridor and mid-century subdivisions. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Merle Hay Road and Douglas Avenue, where big-box storefronts, local eateries, and steady traffic set a pragmatic, on-the-go tone. Ranch houses and split-levels sit on curving streets, with pockets of apartments near the main arterials. Merle Hay Mall remains the defining landmark, shaping the area’s retail-first geography. The Des Moines Buccaneers at Buccaneer Arena add a loud, local sports ritual to the week. Sidewalks and multi-use paths link to nearby green space for a break from the corridor pace.
