WELCOME TO THE HISTORIC EAST VILLAGE.

The Historic East Village in downtown Des Moines, Iowa is near the hill of the Iowa State Capitol building. Emerging from the east side of the Des Moines River, you will find yourself in a neighborhood that is eclectic, comfortable and fun.

The diverse shops, restaurants, bars and residents bring a comfortable feeling to this pedestrian friendly village. The charm of this unique village is due largely to the passion of those who have chosen to open businesses here, move here, and spend time enjoying all that there is to experience in our inviting area of the city.

Whether you’re looking for a place to enjoy a day with friends, a new home, or a place to locate your business, we invite you to visit the Historic East Village.

The Historic East Village business district can be easily accessed by I-235 at E. 6th Street and heading south two blocks. Click here for map.
