Anchored by Drake University, 50311 blends collegiate energy with long-established residential blocks of early 1900s bungalows and tree-lined streets. Expect four true seasons—snowy winters, breezy springs, warm summers—and a walkable core around University Avenue’s Dogtown district, where Mars Cafe, Leftys Live Music, the restored Varsity Cinema, Jethros BBQ, and global eats keep days and nights lively. Daily needs are easy with nearby Hy-Vee and neighborhood markets, fitness at the Drake Rec Center and local studios, and green time at Drake Park and pocket parks; bike routes and DART buses connect you quickly to Ingersoll shopping and downtown a few minutes away. According to Zillow Rental Manager market trends, recent months show a median asking rent around $1,050, with most listings roughly $800–$1,600. The area is known for friendly, pet-welcoming rentals, community events like the Drake Relays, and a mix of students, faculty, young professionals, and families enjoying an affordable, social lifestyle.

Local university presence adds vibrancy, events, and youthful energy.
