  • Love Fourth and Court!

    April 5, 2024
    We use Fourth and Court as our “second” residence and can’t imagine a better place to stay in downtown Des Moines! Management and maintenance has been incredible to work with answering questions, taking care of any issues in a timely manner. The location is incredible- it’s nice to take a walk to the library, try new restaurants or pop downstairs to Hy-Vee. It’s very relaxing to hang out on the balcony during farmers markets or watching the marathons that occur throughout the year. Very grateful ...
    to have found this apartment!

  • Best apartment experience!

    January 26, 2023
    I would recommend these apartments to everyone! Starting with touring, my application lease and move in being so easy! Annesa and Kevin are the BEST! The apartments are very well kept! Every question I ever had was responded to within minutes as well as a maintenance request I marked as “low priority” being completed that same day! I truly felt safe in this apartment using the locked entrances and separate parking ramp to even taking my dog out in the dark! My neighbors were all extremely ...
    friendly and I never one had an issue with noise (which everyone knows is a risk when living in an apartment) This apartment will always hold my favorite memories running around Des Moines and going down to the farmers market!

  • We love it here!!!

    May 12, 2021
    Amazing spot in the heart of downtown Des Moines. From the beautiful views to living right above a grocery store (and Starbucks), it’s hard to find a deal quite like living at Fourth + Court. Annesa has been extremely friendly, helpful, and communicative throughout our experience living here, which will be coming up on a year. We’ve already resigned and are excited to stay here for another year! Kevin is a top-notch maintenance man who greets everyone with a smile and is always ready to help. We ...
    absolutely adore this place and could not recommend more! The reviews are right- apartments are stunning, built well, virtually no noise from any neighbors, and the location just can’t be beat! Not to mention internet is included and the secret perk of overhearing hilarious drunk conversations from people walking back from the bars while you’re out on your balcony. If you’re looking for a place downtown with friendly staff and nice amenities, don’t even hesitate. Fourth + Court is the place for you!!!

  • Most Ideal Downtown Apartments!

    September 27, 2018
    I truly loved living at Fourth & Court Apartments! I was a first tenant at the brand-new apartment and wouldn't be leaving if it wasn't for job relocation. Fourth Court is the most ideal location in the downtown area with Hyvee right below, the Farmer's Market right outside and restaurant/bars within walking distance! Having Hy-Vee below the apartment makes life so easy as you won't need to leave the building to get groceries! The units are very spacious with large closets, high ceilings and ...
    floor to ceiling windows. Parking is very convenient as the complex has a private ramp that leads to the tenant parking spaces and on the same level of the apartment entrance. The management is extremely friendly and so helpful. Even with the competition around downtown area, I think Fourth Court is the most superior!
