“I love living at R&T. The price for my unit is great for the square-footage I'm getting. Management and the front office is always happy to help, and they don't leave you hanging. The location is perfect because we're right in the middle of downtown - I can go on walks and feel safe since we're on a main street, it's a 15 minute walk basically anywhere downtown, and it's very convenient being connected to the skywalk especially when it's cold out. Best place I've ever lived with no plans to move.”

What to keep in mind when looking for studio apartments in Des Moines, IA
Studio apartments could offer the best of Des Moines living at a less expensive price tag than larger units. Look for the best buildings near entertainment, dining, and public transportation or highway access.
Ask about the square footage of studio apartments in Des Moines during your tour. Even a little extra space in another building can offer more room for storage or an additional chair. Consider the layout and what you can accomplish before you sign. You should have enough room for your bed, a small sitting area, and a dining table. You can always get creative and loft your bed to save on space underneath or install a fold-down table or desk that tucks away.
