Why they chose this property
I chose this Urbandale location for its balance of convenience and quiet residential comfort. The neighborhood offers quick access to I-80, I-35, and I-235, making commutes throughout the Des Moines metro efficient and straightforward. Guests appreciate the walkable access to everyday essentials, nearby dining, and major retail, while still enjoying a peaceful setting away from heavy traffic. It’s a practical, well-situated location for professionals, relocating families, and extended-stay guests who want both accessibility and a calm place to unwind after work.
What makes this property unique
The Dahl House is uniquely positioned just minutes from the Merle Hay Mall redevelopment and arena project, making it an ideal base for professionals involved in ongoing construction, development, and related business activity in the area. In addition to its proximity to this major project, the home has been fully renovated with modern finishes, new furnishings, and practical amenities designed specifically for extended stays. Guests benefit from driveway parking, dedicated workspace, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a quiet residential setting all within easy reach of major highways and commercial corridors. The combination of location, functionality, and updated design makes this property especially well-suited for corporate travelers, contractors, and relocating professionals seeking dependable mid-term housing.
