Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is safe and peaceful.

What makes this property unique

The property is just a 3 minute walk to the Iowa State Fairgrounds, backside entrance where the animal barns are. There is not much lodging around the Fairgrounds, only one hotel within a three mile radius, so my house is pretty unique as it can sleep up to 10 people. It is also just a 5 to 12 minute drive to downtown Des Moines, AdventureLand, or Prairie Meadows Casino.
