Location, location, location. It’s an old real estate acumen that points out that a property’s proximity to life’s conveniences is one of the most important factors prospective home buyers consider. Those who choose Midtown Heights, Hubbell Realty’s new 17 unit townhome development near downtown Des Moines, will find both a convenient location and the superior craftsmanship on which the Hubbell name has been built.

The Midtown Heights development will consist of attractive three-story townhomes that range in price from $177,900 to $189,900. Each home’s exterior will feature its own unique color and design with a generous number of windows and a private entrance and deck. A 10-year tax abatement makes these homes an affordable investment, allowing homebuyers to purchase more home for less money. The tax abatement makes Midtown Heights an attractive housing option for young professionals working in the downtown area.

As for location, the development resides at MLK Parkway and High Street, offering convenient access to the downtown area and I-235, as well as many of the service-oriented businesses people need regularly. A trip to the Gateway Market is as easy as walking across the street while a bank and a doctor’s office are right next door. See the map at the bottom of the page for a visual reference.

The neighborhood offers a friendly environment that will keep you close to the action. You and your pet will be able to get some fresh air and exercise at nearby Chamberlain Park while a nearby bike trail gives easy access to Gray’s Lake and a number of other downtown venues. The historic Sherman Hill area, Hoyt Sherman, Café DiScala, Star Bar and Ingersoll Avenue are all a short walk away and many of the restaurants and entertainment options that have revitalized downtown Des Moines are also within walking distance.

Downtown Des Moines’ recent reawakening makes living downtown a great option for young professionals, executives and retirees. A short commute to work is just one of the reasons living downtown makes sense. Many people have already found that less driving and an absence of yard work, not to mention not having to shovel snow in the winter, have given them more time to do the things they enjoy most.

You won’t have to go far to find some of the city’s best restaurants and clubs, as well as an ever-expanding array of entertainment choices. Wells Fargo Arena, Principal Park, the Science Center of Iowa and the Des Moines Public Library are just a few of the great attractions that have helped make downtown Des Moines a true entertainment destination.
