The city features various apartment options with one-bedroom units averaging around $1,097 monthly. The local economy thrives with major employers like Wells Fargo, Microsoft, and Hy-Vee providing employment opportunities throughout the area.

Apartment residents in West Des Moines enjoy easy access to Jordan Creek Town Center, Iowa's largest shopping complex, and the Historic Valley Junction district, known for its weekly farmers' market from May through September. The city maintains numerous parks and trails, including the Raccoon River Park complex and Brown's Woods Forest Preserve. Commuters appreciate the proximity to Interstates 35, 80, and 235.
