Just wondering when is the appropriate time to look at housing for this coming fall. I'm thinking of flying to Des Moines in late June or July to apartment hunt. What about you guys? Tips or comments are appreciated. Thanks
I actually wouldn't look much further east then 30th street and there are some parts that are north of 235 (Beaverdale area) that are really nice and only end up being 3 miles or so from campus, but that is more for if you are looking to rent a house. Every area has good and bad.That would be my suggestion. There are a lot of apartments near school that are okay. 3000 Grand is probably the most popular, but I would get an apartment guide when you get into town. Then I would look at apartments from 42 to 19th from I-235 to Grand.
Thanks for the input guys. I am looking at Terrace Hill apartment on 2525 Grand Avenue. I know that's just a few blocks from school but I was wondering about how safe that neighborhood is? Thanks

Well that blows, I was hoping to just get an apartment without actually going to Des Moines but I guess I'm gonna have to. Podwif, thanks for checking that out for me.
On a completely unrelated topic, is anybody worried about winter driving in Des Moines? I don't have a 4WD vehicle, so I'm a little concerned about that. Thanks for answering all these petty questions guys.
