Planning a move to Des Moines — neighborhoods?
Been meaning to ask this. We have two kids and The unemployment rate is 4.1%, which is about average. Homes are going for about $183,700 on average. The weather takes some getting used to. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Any advice would be great. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Property taxes are high but you get good services. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The suburbs are where most families end up. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
