Our View On Urbandale
Three things keep Urbandale apartments leased: office and warehouse parks along I-35/80, Merle Hay Road retail corridor, and proximity to downtown Des Moines employers.
Urbandale's apartments range from older complexes in the east to newer suburban projects on the west side. A buyer should account for competition from new western suburbs and the impact of Iowa property taxes on net income.
Around Waukee, Johnston, and nearby parts of Polk County, a building does not need to be perfect — we price in repairs and vacancy ourselves.

Urbandale Seller FAQ
Is Urbandale a market you actively buy in?
It is. We review Urbandale apartment buildings of five or more units, with particular attention to Johnston, Clive, Waukee, and Windsor Heights.
Why is Urbandale a good place to own rentals?
The renter base in Urbandale draws on office and warehouse parks along I-35/80, Merle Hay Road retail corridor, and proximity to downtown Des Moines employers, which gives well-run apartment buildings a steady pool of tenants.
Will you buy a Urbandale property that needs work or has high vacancy?
Yes. We regularly evaluate value-add, mismanaged, and distressed multifamily properties and underwrite them as they are today — no repairs or lease-up required before selling.
