About the host
Your host

I grew up in Iowa and bought this house while in Graduate School at Iowa State University. After graduation moved to Hawaii where I taught at a college and became a real estate broker. This is the first house I bought and always enjoyed it and decided to make it into a rental for others to enjoy while in Des Moines. I am also a broker in IA if you have any real estate questions about property in Des Moines area.
Why they chose this property
Ease of commuting and has huge yard with minimal neighbors. Nature is happy here.
What makes this property unique
You are so close to downtown but feel like you are far from the city. Massive old tree in the yard, excelelnt landscaping, and a timber borders the back of the property. Get to see a lot of wildlife. I have actually found morel mushrooms at the back of the property on a couple of occasions.
