Independence Village of Des Moines

4610 Douglas Ave, Des Moines, IA 50310

Overview

Independence Village of Des Moines, located in Des Moines, IA offers active adult living & independent living. Visit Provider Website

Veterans, active-duty service members and their spouses get 10% off monthly rent here, a discount the operator states on the community's own page.

The building sits on Douglas Avenue in the Beaverdale neighborhood of Des Moines, IA, about four miles from MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center, with Gray's Lake Park and the Des Moines Riverwalk both named as places residents get out to. Independent living is the only level, so what you are choosing between here is apartments, meals and location rather than care tiers.

Pricing at Independence Village of Des Moines

StoryPoint Group, who manages Independence Village of Des Moines, states no monthly rent for independent living on the community's own website, and the apartment plans come as a download with no rent beside them. A figure you find attached to this community on a third-party site is that site's estimate rather than a number the operator stands behind. One request through Get Pricing gets you the current rent for the plan you would actually take, so you can line it up against the others on your list.

Apartment Homes at Independence Village of Des Moines

The apartments are open-concept, and the operator describes high ceilings, large windows and wide hallways rather than naming individual layouts. Square footage appears on none of the community pages, and the plan sheet is a download rather than a page you can read, so the size of the apartment you would take is the number to get from the team early. Knowing the actual dimensions makes it much easier to work out whether your own furniture fits before you move.

Dining at Independence Village of Des Moines

Dining runs under a program the operator calls the Personalized Dining Experience: three chef-prepared meals a day served restaurant style, built on locally sourced ingredients, with menus the community says it adjusts on resident feedback and meals supervised by a registered dietician. There are four places to eat rather than one room, a restaurant-style dining room, a private dining room you can book, a cafe and a resident kitchen, which matters more than it sounds when you want to host your own family instead of eating on the community's schedule.

Around Independence Village of Des Moines

Beaverdale is the neighborhood, which the operator calls one of Des Moines' most treasured. MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center is about four miles away, and the community names Gray's Lake Park and the Des Moines Riverwalk among the places residents head for. If you already have doctors in the city, that four-mile figure tells you whether your existing appointments stay where they are once you move.

Getting Started at Independence Village of Des Moines

No age minimum, income requirement or care-level cutoff is stated, which is normal for a private-pay independent living community and means fit gets settled in a conversation rather than by a rule. A pricing request is the quickest way in, because one reply can carry the monthly rent, what is open now, and whether the veterans discount applies to you, instead of three separate exchanges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about care, costs and life at Independence Village of Des Moines

How much does Independence Village of Des Moines cost per month?

StoryPoint Group, who manages Independence Village of Des Moines, does not state a monthly rate for independent living on the community's own website, so the only way to get a real number is to request a quote for the apartment you want. Its plan sheet is a download with no rent beside any layout, which means a figure attached to Independence Village of Des Moines on a third-party site is that site's estimate. When you ask, ask what the rent covers, because three meals a day and maintenance are included here and that changes what the number is competing against.

What is not included in Independence Village of Des Moines's monthly rent?

Because the operator never states a rent figure for Independence Village of Des Moines, it never says what that rent covers either, so nothing is on record about what sits outside it. What the community does name as part of living there is three chef-prepared meals a day, maintenance and the apartment itself. There is no stated community fee or move-in fee amount. The two charges that most often sit outside an independent living rent are a second-person fee and any personal care brought in from outside, and asking about both gets you a number you can budget against.

What floor plans are available at Independence Village of Des Moines?

The operator names no individual plans for Independence Village of Des Moines and states no square footage on its community pages; the plan sheet is a download rather than a page. What it does describe is open-concept apartments with high ceilings, large windows and wide hallways, in a building where independent living is the only level. Because the sizes are not on record, the dimensions of the exact apartment you would take are the thing to get from the team early, since that is what tells you whether your own furniture fits.

Is there a military discount at Independence Village of Des Moines?

Yes. The operator states a 10% discount off monthly rent for veterans, active-duty service members and their spouses at Independence Village of Des Moines. Because the rent itself is not on record, you will not know what that 10% is worth in dollars until you have the base figure, so it helps to get the rent and the discounted rent together in one request. That way you are comparing the number you would actually pay rather than a list price.

What is daily life like at Independence Village of Des Moines?

Dining sits in the middle of it. Independence Village of Des Moines runs what the operator calls the Personalized Dining Experience, with three chef-prepared meals a day served restaurant style, locally sourced ingredients, menus adjusted on resident feedback and meals supervised by a registered dietician. There are four places to eat rather than one: a restaurant-style dining room, a private dining room, a cafe and a resident kitchen. Around the meals, the community sits in Beaverdale, about four miles from MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center, with Gray's Lake Park and the Des Moines Riverwalk named as regular destinations.

How do I apply to Independence Village of Des Moines?

The practical first step at Independence Village of Des Moines is a conversation rather than a form. Requesting pricing is the quickest way in, because one reply can carry the monthly rent, which apartments are open now, and whether the veterans discount applies to you, instead of three separate exchanges. If a particular apartment size matters to you, name it in that first message, since square footage is not on record anywhere and the team has to look it up for the unit you would take.
