Waveland Park Area Insight

  • The Waveland Park area and surrounding neighborhoods boast so much to do. The area is also minutes from downtown, and a quick jump on the interstate to West Des Moines and Waukee. Homes in the area are Craftsman, Four Squares, some brick colonial.. but all are filled with character. When you are looking for hardwood floors, wood accents and great neighbors you have found it.

    Looking for breakfast hot spots, you are in luck. The Waveland Cafe is a local diner. During Caucus and elections it is a 'must' for politicians. La Mie, French serves pastries, quiche, and so much more. Louie's Wine Dive has a more eclectic brunch menu, but yum.

The Drake Municipal Observatory, located next to Waveland Golf Course, offers public night series which starts at the end of March. There are so many things to do in the area, it is worth putting it on your list of places to visit.
