About

Somerset

Somerset, located between Fleur Drive and SW 9th Street, is a residential and park-adjacent Des Moines neighborhood with curving mid-century streets and a greenbelt feel. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Gray’s Lake Park loop and the Kruidenier Trail, where runners, cyclists, and sunset walkers set the tempo. Housing leans toward ranches and split-levels with mature trees and deep setbacks, giving blocks a calm, buffered rhythm. Water and open space shape daily routines, with Gray’s Lake and the Raccoon River corridor framing the edges. Downtown’s skyline stays in view from trail overlooks, keeping the setting urban without feeling busy. Gray’s Lake Park, the Meredith Trail, and Water Works Park act as the area’s shared living room.
