Life in Des Moines
As Iowa's capital city, Des Moines is a hub of government action, business activity and cultural affairs. With a Metro population of 699,292, Des Moines is a bustling metropolis. But though we have big city bustle, we're extremely proud of our small town atmosphere. Our community offers quality schools, superb public services, and friendly neighborhoods. Affordable housing, one of the nation's shortest commute times, and an increasingly diverse population, make Des Moines a wonderful place to live, work and visit. Truly the best of both worlds!
