- Description/Excerpt: The Des Moines area's luxury housing market has blossomed in the past year, as downtown condos rise, suburban estates expand and south-of-Grand mansions get makeovers.
The number of million-dollar homes in the metro shot up to 98 from 61 a year ago, according to county assessors' records in Polk and Dallas counties.
The bulk of the million-dollar properties are in West Des Moines (32) and Des Moines (22), but expensive homes also have begun showing up in unexpected locations, like rural Grimes, where Iowa Highway 141 and the interstate highways offer a quick commute as well as seclusion.
