Description
This charming ranch in North Des Moines offers easy one-level living with a layout that just makes sense. Situated near Brubaker Elementary, Hoyt Middle School and the Copper Creek Golf Course, the location is as practical as it is convenient. The open living room is filled with natural light from an abundance of windows, creating a warm and welcoming space from the moment you walk in. Around the corner, the kitchen features updated white cabinetry that gives the space a clean, modern feel. Step off the kitchen onto the deck and take in the view of the generous 0.33-acre lot, offering breathing room from neighbors and plenty of space for summer gatherings, lawn games or simply enjoying the outdoors. Back inside, three spacious bedrooms and a full bath round out the main level, keeping everything you need on one floor. Downstairs, the finished basement adds valuable flex space that works perfectly for movie nights, game day watching or entertaining guests. A brand new roof and an oversized two-car detached garage add peace of mind and practicality. With some light cosmetic updates like fresh carpet, this home has all the bones to feel completely brand new.

1/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe were warned about sending our kids to this school as we were new to the area. We did attempt to open enroll to another school but being as we moved so late, they were full so I can’t help but feel we got “stuck” with this school.This will be our first and only year at this school. The kids that attend here are terribly behaved. Bullying is an issue, there seems to be no dress code, and there are A LOT of thieves here. My son also got into a fight here (he was defending himself from a kid who was bothering him the entire year) and it was poorly handled by the school. Basically was told to come pick up our child and the lady wasn’t even going to tell me what happened that had led up to the fight. That was annoying. We’re military so we move often and we have never had issues with any school like this or dealt with kids like the ones that go to this school. The kids here have severe behavior issues.Parent Review2mo ago - Brubaker Elementary School
