Station 121, Des Moines IA

I lived in this building for over 2 years. The building is gorgeous and so was my apartment. I absolutely loved the vibe and fixtures of my apartment; it had high ceilings, big windows, good appliances. However, the property management leaves so much to be desired. In the 3.5 years I lived in a downtown Hubbell apartment building, there were something like 6 different property managers. This created absolute chaos when trying to communicate things. They messed up our lease on multiple occasions and would regularly go back on what a different manager had said just a month prior. The apartment is gorgeous, but I’m not sure it’s worth the hassle.

I currently live in Station 121 and really like it. Lots of cool spaces & restaurants to walk to like the Sculpture Park, Malo, Exile, etc. I can't hear any of my neighbors ever which is really nice. New appliances, big windows, and vinyl floors that are easy to clean. It is an older building so heating and cooling tends to be a little more expensive than newer more efficient buildings. Utilities and trash are not included in rent and so it's a little expensive but you're paying for the neighborhood. It was a rough start with property management but I think it was because they were switching between property managers. They have since been helpful & responsive.

Love living here! The apartment is so unique and well-kept, management and maintenance are impressive and very timely with responses, and it's a perfect location for easy downtown and skywalk access. I would 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for pet-friendly downtown apartments!
