Information About the Area from our Experts
Crime & Safety
John Grinell - Landlord
In West Des Moines, the violent crime is much lower than the average city’s, yet the property crime is higher than normal. For example, the violent crime rate is 70% lower than the US average and 53% less than the Iowa average, yet the property crime in W.D.M. is 37% lower than the state average. However, the property crime has been curbed compared to how it used to be. I’d say overall West Des Moines is much safer than most of the other U.S. cities its size.
Traffic & Commuting
John Grinell - Landlord
West Des Moines is a separate city than Des Moines, but its namesake is indicative of the proximity between the two places. W.D.M. is just five miles away from Des Moines, and the commute is unbelievably easy -- Interstate 235 runs through W.D.M and takes it right to Des Moines. The drive is usually around ten minutes, and even in rush hour it’s not too bad because of how close they are. The average commute for people who live in W.D.M. is a very low 20 minutes.
