The crime rate relies on which street you are on. One block could be safe and the next could have a few troubled houses but not anything to be worried too much. Unless, you are racist or judgemental. Many of the neighborhood children run around the blocks, so everyone has to be a little cautious.
No real crime to speak of, you can leave your garage door open and not worry. Walk down the street without worry of being harrassed
There are many great places to go eat around this neighborhood. However, there are no retail places to go. You must go to West Des Moines or the Southern side of Des Moines for any shopping centers.
