Varför vÀrden valde detta boende
This neighborhood chose me! I grew up right here, at the Funk! When my parents retired and wanted to move out to the country, I was able to purchase our home from them.
The Drake Neighborhood, aka Dogtown has been an incredible place to grow up. There are tons of amazing activities and amenities within walking distance, a short bike or bus ride, or by car. In DSM we say, youâre never more than 15 minutes away from everything; who doesnât love that convenience?!
Our neighborhood has tons of character, and arts & culture abounds. We have the annual Greek Food Festival, just around the block; local eats like next door at Library Cafe with tons of local craft brews and great bar food (try their famous, flour nachos), Lzaza Indo-Pak Cuisine, Gursha Ethiopian Grill, Doughco Pizza, Lucky Horse Beer & Burgers, Campbelâs Health Food Store, Louiseâs Wine Dive, and more; beautiful Craftsman style homes; xBk Live & Leftyâs for live music and community events; thee Drake Relays⊠I could go on.
Ask me if thereâs something specific youâre looking for, Iâll probably have a recommendation!
