About

Meredith

Meredith, located between Meredith Drive and Beaver Avenue, is a residential and park-adjacent Des Moines neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and a leafy, low-rise streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Meredith Drive corridor near Beaver Avenue, where small storefronts and everyday services line the road in a steady, local rhythm. Greenwood Park and the Meredith Trail set the outdoor tempo with shaded paths and open lawns. The Des Moines Art Center and its surrounding grounds add a cultural counterpoint nearby. Streets tend toward quiet blocks, with pockets of apartments and tidy brick buildings mixed in. Daily life reads as practical and relaxed, shaped by trees, trails, and short drives to larger commercial districts.
