Description
Not every home needs 2,000 square feet to feel like home.
At 1901 E. 23rd Street, you'll find a thoughtfully updated 2-bedroom home that makes smart use of every inch. New flooring and fresh interior finishes create a clean, move-in-ready feel, while the fully fenced backyard offers plenty of space for dogs, gardening, backyard fires, or simply enjoying a quiet evening outdoors. The detached garage adds extra storage and flexibility for hobbies, tools, or weekend projects.
Located on Des Moines' east side, you're minutes from schools, shopping, parks, the Iowa State Fair Grounds and everyday conveniences, with easy access to wherever life takes you next. Whether you're buying your first home, downsizing, or looking for a low-maintenance property with character, this is the kind of place that feels comfortable from the moment you walk in.

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is horrible sent a well mannered teenage girl to school sophomore year by senior year she was a stranger, this school is extremely toxic for students with a good head on their shoulders there’s constant bullying online social and societal norms clearly are not taught. I could be a victim of the times but phones and TikTok’s in the classroom because the teachers are not educators they are feeling based school with public funding. Just know sending your child here you sending them to the lions den with steaks for clothes.Other Review1y ago - Phillips Elementary School
