    Downtown Des Moines sits along the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers, with a compact center of offices, apartments, cultural venues and riverfront paths. The climate brings hot summers, cold winters and changing seasons, so outdoor plans shift through the year. The Iowa State Capitol is just east of downtown, while the Pappajohn Sculpture Park and Principal Riverwalk offer distinctive outdoor stops; the riverwalk also provides space for walking and biking. Dining ranges from restaurants and bars to casual cafés, with coffee shops and everyday retail woven into the downtown grid. The Des Moines Civic Center and nearby performing-arts venues add theater and live entertainment, while historic buildings reflect the city’s growth as Iowa’s capital. People get around on foot, by bike and by car, with local bus service connecting downtown to other parts of the city. Downtown Des Moines neighborhood rent has a median of $1,375 per month and a typical range of $525 to $6,210.
