Southwestern Hills, located between Gray’s Lake Park and Water Works Park, is a residential and park-adjacent Des Moines neighborhood with wooded slopes and curving streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Fleur Drive & Park Avenue corridor, where riverfront trails, ballfields, and low-key local stops set a steady, outdoors-forward rhythm. Mid-century ranches and split-level homes sit alongside mature trees and deep lots, giving the streetscape a quiet, established feel. Water Works Park and the Des Moines River Greenbelt shape daily routines with long paths and open lawns. Gray’s Lake adds a scenic loop and skyline views that frame the area’s geography. Community pillars nearby include the Des Moines Water Works Park, Gray’s Lake Park, and the historic Salisbury House & Gardens.
