1327 6th Ave

A transformative opportunity to revitalize this
historic area. This property is positioned to serve as catalytic examples, driving further private investment.

The Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs has designated the 6th Avenue Corridor an Iowa Great Place due to its historical and cultural significance. The area is experiencing revitalization with restored historic homes, new businesses, and ongoing streetscape improvements. Public enhancements include a “complete street” design with reduced traffic lanes, a multi-use trail, designated parking, widened sidewalks, improved lighting, and green infrastructure like rain gardens and permeable paving. Public art
installations, including vibrant bus shelters, reinforce the neighborhood’s identity.

Minutes from downtown Des Moines via car, bus, or bicycle. To the
north, the Des Moines River and Central Iowa Trails system offer recreational amenities, along with the Riverview Park amphitheater.
