About Lower

Beaver

Lower Beaver, located between Beaver Avenue and the Des Moines River, is a residential and commercial Des Moines neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and a working-corridor feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Beaver Avenue and Lower Beaver Road junction, where auto shops, small eateries, and everyday storefronts line the roadway. Brick one-and-a-half-story homes and tidy bungalows sit behind mature trees, while the main drag keeps things practical and active. The Des Moines River Greenbelt frames the east side with trail access and open views. Nearby, Big Creek State Park adds a larger outdoor backdrop beyond the neighborhood grid.
