Des Moines, IA Apartments for Rent with Wheelchair Access

If you need a wheelchair-accessible apartment in Des Moines,IA, Apartment Finder has 38 options to help you find the perfect place. When looking at apartments with wheelchair access, consider the layout of the space. For example, are the doorways wide enough? Are there any stairs in the apartment? Is there enough space in the kitchen to navigate easily? The best kitchen layouts in wheelchair-accessible apartments are either "L" or "U" shaped. Look for lower countertops and reachable appliances, as well.

In an apartment with disability access, there are certain features to look out for. Hallways should be at least four feet wide. Flooring should be non-slip, like hardwood or embossed vinyl. If there's carpet, it shouldn't be overly plush. Look for carpet that's somewhat thin and well-secured. Light switches and thermostats should be reachable from a seated position. Make sure there's enough space in the bedroom to maneuver around the bed. Check the closet to see if the clothing bar and shelves are accessible. The bathroom should have reinforced walls to accommodate grab bars. Look for a roll-in shower, as well.

In addition to the apartment's floor plan, the building's public areas should also be accessible. Check the walkways, grounds, office, swimming pool, clubhouse, laundry room, and other common areas. If there's an elevator in the building, it should be large enough to allow a wheelchair to turn easily. Finally, look for a parking area with a wheelchair-accessible route and a sloped ramp.

Finding an apartment with wheelchair access in Des Moines may narrow your search, but Apartment Finder will help you find a great rental with everything you need.
