All.i can say is the Property manager really makes this place. I've seen so many places and none as well maintained as this one. There's no way she's getting paid enough to do all that she does for this property...

Very quiet and nice location. Staff is always nice and accommodating. Only reason I left was to move in with a friend.

I lived here over a year ago. They are beautiful units and amazing skyline you can see from the rooftop. A little noisey being next to high traffic and trains going all night, but I enjoyed that part. Great place highly recommend!

I lived here for a year, in a one bedroom apartment with my boyfriend. I'm sad to leave, I'm only moving due to moving out of state. The apartments are super spacious, I'll miss the high ceilings, brick wall, and storage space. The walls can be a little a thin, but overall this was never an issue, just occasionally could hear an instrument or dogs barking during the day, etc. Maintenance was always very prompt at any issues, huge shout out to Bri! If I ever move back to Des Moines, I will definitely rent at RTL again. Thank you!
