Waveland Park, located between Grand Avenue and University Avenue, is a residential and park-centered Des Moines neighborhood with a golf course edge and a leafy street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Waveland Golf Course clubhouse area along University Avenue, where fairway views, walkers, and cyclists set a steady, outdoors-forward rhythm. Brick Tudors and mid-century ranches sit beside mature trees, with sidewalks that track toward the park’s open greens. The Waveland Cafe anchors local routines with a classic counter-and-coffee feel. Nearby, Des Moines Art Center and the Rose Garden add a cultural and botanical counterpoint to the athletic landscape. Greenwood Park’s trails and picnic lawns extend the neighborhood’s everyday outdoor circuit.
