Review of Des Moines, Iowa


DSM rocks!!!
Star Rating - 11/17/2011
I used to live in park slope in Brooklyn, have been in DSM since 2003now and I love it here I pay in mortgage and for a 2011 vehicle what I paid there in rent for a studio appt. I have a short commute to work. We have clean neighborhoods with trails bike lanes, farmers and winter markets, an excellent civic center, concert arena , and baseball field, excellent restaurants from Thai and Indian to deli and pizza's (fongs where you can get to my knowledge the only crab Rangoon pizza anywhere) in short DES moines has everything you could want packaged in a beautiful little city with big city attractions and small town charm. I Love DES Moines.
