Steer clear

Once the pinnacle of luxury in downtown Des Moines, the current management is now running this beloved community into the ground. Months of no air conditioning in the units, resigning gifts left unfulfilled, and management’s gaslighting of residents On building repairs have left this property a shell of its former self.

Going downhill in a hurry

AC is consistently down with apartments reaching 80 degrees for days straight. From the ownership's explanations it sounds like they cheeped out on maintenance/replacements for too long and now they are having trouble keeping up with needed fixes to make the building less dangerous to survive in. Hot water keeps going down which makes showering before work torture. If you are visiting the building, make sure to take a lap around the block so that you are able to see the homeless camps that have... moved to surround the building. They add new members to their flock daily. This makes walking home at night from the inconvenient parking structures dangerous, especially when you have to step over people on your walk. The skywalk near the building is consistently filled with human droppings. The air at times smells like an unflushed toilet. This is likely due to the nearly abandoned buildings surrounding the Equitable. The staff is extremely nice and try their best to help but ownership and the city of Des Moines have failed and the building is becoming unlivable. I am now safely moved away and you should stay away.

Wow!

I recently moved to Des Moines from across the country. All of my possessions had been seriously delayed and I had nothing. The building management lent me numerous items until my belongings are delivered. I am honestly not sure what I would have done without them. They have gone above and beyond. I am so grateful to have found The Equitable Building. The apartments are large and comfortable. The building is beautiful!

Love this building

I signed the lease without actually touring it and never regretted doing so. The tenants are super friendly. The convenience walking to anywhere downtown is great. The view is great I get a lot of sun in my unit. I really think this is the best apartment you can ask for in downtown.

good vibes

I had multiple tours here and Angela was so resourceful, friendly and patient. I'm still deciding between this and another place but from my tours which were rather thorough thanks to Angela this place definitely has a good price/value unlike many places in downtown. I've also had friends/colleagues who've lived here who had great experience and were able to work productively and also study at the same time for further certifications so that speaks to the quality of the structure/building,... neighbors and management here.
