Sustainable Apartments in Des Moines’ East Village
Most apartments are built to look good. The Aston is built to last. For renters searching for energy efficient, soundproof apartments in downtown Des Moines, the difference is noticeable from day one.
Unlike traditional wood-frame construction, The Aston uses insulated concrete form (ICF) technology and solid concrete floors throughout.
Quieter living. Concrete walls and floors block outside noise and reduce sound between units.
Lower utility costs. Superior insulation keeps your home comfortable year-round without overworking your HVAC system.
Built for the long term. More durable, more resilient, and built to stand long after wood-frame buildings of the same era.
At The Aston, quality is not an upgrade. It is the standard.
East Village Neighborhood
The Aston puts you at the center of the East Village, one of Des Moines' most walkable and vibrant neighborhoods.
Start your morning at Daisy Chain Coffee or Scenic Route Bakery, then work up a sweat at Pace 317. Come evening, choose from some of the city's best — James Beard-nominated Masao, The Contrary, Alba, Bar Nico, Clyde's Fine Diner, or The Republic on Grand, a rooftop cocktail lounge with some of the best views in the city. Catch live music at Wooly's, or spend an afternoon browsing Leona Ruby, Marne, All Spice, Kitchen Collage, and the boutiques that make the East Village unlike anywhere else in Des Moines.
Casey's Center is minutes away, and direct access to I-235 puts the rest of the metro within easy reach.
This is not just a great place to live. It is a great place to be.
