Des Moines is a vibrant midwestern city with
more than 490,000 residents in its three-county metro area. As
the capitol of Iowa, Des Moines boasts a healthy economy and is home to
a number of national and international businesses, including insurance
and health care.
Living in and around Des Moines offers a safe, clean
environment for school, work and play without the hassle of long
commutes. Four regional malls offer shoppers a bit of everything.
Hundreds of restaurants and clubs serve up a variety of American and
ethnic food, live music and dancing. Lovers of the
performing arts will be drawn to the Civic Center of Des Moines, which
hosts major Broadway productions featuring the stars of tomorrow. The
Des Moines Symphony and Art Center are among the nation’s finest. A
seasonal weekly Farmer’s Market, the nationally juried Des Moines Arts
Festival and Iowa State Fair add to the cultural offerings.
If sports are your passion, the Iowa Cubs baseball – the AAA
farm team for the Chicago Cubs – and Des Moines Menace soccer teams
call Des Moines home. Major college athletics events are available at
Drake University or a short drive away at Iowa State University and the
University of Iowa. Well-developed bicycle trails and parks provide
another escape to enjoy the beauty of Iowa.
No matter what your interest, Des Moines offers a great
quality of life!
