Make the Most of Your West Des Moines Stay

Historic charm meets modern convenience

West Des Moines began as Valley Junction, a railroad hub founded in 1893. The beautifully preserved Historic Valley Junction district features over 150 independent shops, galleries, and restaurants in turn-of-the-century storefronts along walkable streets hosting farmers markets and seasonal celebrations. This authentic area offers curated antiques and local art—a refreshing contrast to typical suburban retail. The Jordan House Museum, a Victorian home that served as an Underground Railroad station, adds meaningful historical depth.

Business hub with upscale amenities

The Jordan Creek district centers around Iowa's largest shopping complex with its distinctive 3.5-acre lake and boardwalk dining. Business travelers benefit from premium hotels near major corporate offices and upscale steakhouses like Fleming's and Johnny's Italian Steakhouse for client dinners. West Glen Town Center offers a more urban atmosphere with mixed-use design and evening entertainment. Des Moines International Airport sits just 15 minutes away.

Regional access and outdoor spaces

Raccoon River Park's 631 acres provide natural respite with Blue Heron Lake and trails for runs or walks. The central Iowa location makes an excellent base for exploring Winterset's covered bridges or Pella's Dutch heritage sites, each about 40 minutes away. A rental car proves most practical for navigating between districts.
