Grand Trees Apartments, a title rich with history, now exudes an eternal charm reminiscent of The Elms, Oaks, and Birches. These grandiose brick buildings situated in the heart of Des Moines, Iowa, were born from the imaginative minds of the visionary local firm Vorse, Kraetsch & Kraetsch in 1923. Their classic design has been thoughtfully designed to house 93 truly unique units, which subtly intertwine through enchanting courtyards and grand stone archways. The imprints of elm, oak, and birch leaves, symbolizing their unique lineage, embellish their main entrances. At the back, the apartments indulge you with spacious parking lots, completing this breathtaking tableau. The renovation that began in 2021 will breathe new life into these buildings, as the addition of elevators shall effortlessly ease your journey into these historic homes.
