On Des Moines's east side, 50317 blends established neighborhoods with practical convenience, anchored by the Iowa State Fairgrounds and seasonal events at Sleepy Hollow Sports Park. Expect four true seasons—snowy winters, breezy springs, warm, humid summers—and easy access along Hubbell Ave/US-69, E University Ave, and the Hwy 65 bypass for quick commutes downtown. Daily errands are simple with Hy-Vee and ALDI nearby, coffee stops like Scooter's and in-store Starbucks, and casual staples such as Tasty Tacos; fitness options include Anytime Fitness, and outdoor time comes via the Gay Lea Wilson Trail, Fourmile Creek Greenbelt, and pocket parks. The vibe is down-to-earth and family- and pet-friendly, with block-by-block pride, weekend yard projects, and low-key nights at local diners or patios; arts and dining in the East Village are a short drive. Per Zillow’s recent market trends for the zip, the median rent has hovered around the mid-$1,100s in recent months, with most rentals ranging roughly $900-$1,600 depending on size and updates.
