Highland Park, located between the Des Moines River and Euclid Avenue, is a historic and residential Des Moines neighborhood with a walkable main street and classic early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along 6th Avenue near Euclid Avenue, where vintage storefronts, barbershops, taquerias, and small galleries set a steady street-level rhythm. Highland Park Bowl and the Highland Park Theater act as long-running cultural anchors, with The Slow Down Coffee Co. adding a daily ritual on the avenue. Brick foursquares and tidy bungalows line the side streets, broken up by pocket parks and school grounds. The hilltop setting frames long views toward downtown, while nearby trails trace the river corridor.
