Merle Hay
What it’s like to live in Merle Hay
Retail convenience defines Merle Hay, where this northwestern Des Moines neighborhood surrounds the mall and commercial corridor creating exceptional shopping access. Rental homes typically feature mid-century designs with hardwood floors, basements, and generous yards unusual at these accessible price points. The area provides excellent access to both Interstate 80/35 connections and Walker Johnston Park recreation, creating practical positioning for households working throughout the Des Moines metropolitan area. Particularly appealing to practical renters who prioritize value, space, and everyday convenience over trendiness or architectural distinction, especially those who appreciate solid construction with minimal pretense despite limited walkability requiring vehicle ownership for most activities beyond immediate shopping needs.
