      Meadow Ridge has been a great place to live. I lived there with my Mom before moving out of state and she stayed for several years after. It's location, location, location! Close to the interstate and minutes to both Jordan Creek and Valley West. Having an apartment with a standard huge and beautiful fireplace is amazing for the cold Iowa winters as well as having a garage! I encourage you to check them out!

    • Great Place to Rent!

      September 8, 2015
      Nice apartments with full size washer and dryers. They have several apartment layouts to choose from, depending on what you are looking for. The location is great, very close to the interstate and only a few miles from downtown Des Moines. It is only a few miles from the Jordan Creek area and Valley West Mall. It is safe and quiet. The rent is very reasonable for West Des Moines. The apartment staff is friendly and helpful when called for repairs or questions. I really enjoy living here!
