Southwestern Hills in Des Moines is a neighborhood that combines scenic beauty with commercial convenience, centered around the Des Moines International Airport. This walkable community offers a mix of older homes from the 1950s and newer constructions, featuring architectural styles from ranch-style and bungalows to contemporary designs, all set on spacious lots. The area is characterized by tree-lined streets, sidewalks, and manicured lawns. Residents enjoy a variety of things to do, with major recreational attractions like the expansive Des Moines Water Works Park, the Arie Den Boer Arboretum, and Gray's Lake Park, which hosts events and offers amenities such as trails and a beach. The neighborhood is also known for its annual Ironman triathlon, showcasing the scenic central Iowa landscape.
