About this property
Sherman Hills Historic Retreat #6 downtown walkable to coffee, bars and dining.
This is an updated historic building in the fantastic Sherman Hills area just up from downtown.
Located on 18th Street the property sits at the edge of Sherman Hill and the Drake/University corridor, one SE of Drake University. The area is a mix of historic, tree-lined residential blocks, student-oriented rental housing and renovated multi-unit buildings. Walking distance to hospitals, local cafés, bars and restaurants, and a short walk or bike ride to downtown Des Moines and the East Village entertainment and dining district. The vibe is urban + residential with frequent foot traffic during the school year and easy access to downtown events and cultural attractions.
Public transit: Des Moines Area Regional Transit (DART) operates several bus routes serving downtown and the university corridor; downtown has DART Central Station for transfers. Biking & walking: very walkable for campus, downtown and nearby restaurants; good bikeability with dedicated lanes on some nearby streets. Rideshare & taxis: widely available in downtown/University area for quick trips and airport transfers. Car: on-street parking and free lot; short drives to major city destinations. Regional rail: Des Moines currently lacks direct Amtrak passenger rail service — intercity rail requires travel to the nearest Amtrak-served station outside the city. Intercity bus: Greyhound/other intercity bus services operate from near downtown (short drive). Airport: Des Moines International Airport (DSM) is the nearest airport and is a short drive south of the city.
Free parking: lot in the back or on the street in front.
