Des Moines, IA Short Term Housing

In search of short-term housing that effortlessly blends comfort, convenience, and affordability? Discover 40 short-term apartments in Des Moines tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you're after the flexibility of a short-term lease, a fully-furnished rental for a work assignment, or a place to stay while you're looking for more permanent housing, Apartment Finder's selection of short-term rentals can streamline your search for your temporary home.

Since it costs landlords time and money to find and screen new tenants, short-term apartments often cost more than long-term leases.

With Apartment Finder's price drops and rent specials, you'll find a wide variety of short-term options curated to match every price point.
