The Riverwalk Brownstones in Downtown Des Moines, designed by BSB Design, are a ‘Walkers Paradise’ with a Walk Score of 91 out of 100 according to Walkscore.com. The location also rated as ‘Very Bikeable’ with a Bike Score of 85 because of the mostly flat terrain and excellent bike lanes.
The brownstones feature street level front stoops, rooftop patios with river and skyline views and 2-car attached garages.Rooftop garden space with view of Downtown Des Moines.
Townhome construction is predicted to continue to gain strength as "more first-time homebuyers enter the market and as generational preferences shift to more walkable, medium-density locations."
