South Des Moines' 50315 blends suburban calm with quick access to downtown, set along rolling, tree-lined streets near Fort Des Moines Park and the Blank Park Zoo. Expect four distinct seasons—snowy winters and warm, sunny summers—plus a down-to-earth community of long-time locals and new renters. Daily conveniences are easy: Hy-Vee and Fareway for groceries, Southridge Mall for big-box shopping, and coffee stops like Scooter's or Starbucks; fitness is covered by South Suburban YMCA and nearby trails. The dining scene ranges from classic B&B Grocery, Meat & Deli to taquerias along SE 14th, and Confluence Brewing adds a local taproom vibe. Recent Zillow market trends show the median asking rent around the low $1,100s, with most listings over the past few months typically ranging from about $900 to $1,600, keeping the area relatively affordable. Families and pets fit in well here thanks to generous yards, neighborhood parks, and easy highway access and short drives to the airport and downtown.

Warm atmosphere with family-friendly amenities and safe, welcoming streets.
