Word is out about affordable housing in Iowa's state capital. Area Realtors recently launched an ad campaign: "Des Moines' Hottest Secret" promoting the great real estate deals available here. Realtors say first-time buyers and empty nesters are snapping up condos and townhouses, lured by great prices and a high quality of living.
The recently gentrified East Village neighborhood appeals to younger residents, and Principal Park, home of the Triple-A Iowa Cubs offers family-friendly recreation. --B.B.
