Sierra Pointe Apartments are great. The building is secure, well lit, and very clean. Dedicated on site front office and maintenance staff are friendly and extremely helpful if any issues arise. Staff put on inclusive events throughout the year for residents such as a pool party, game nights, costume contest etc... They have recently put in a dog park where residents can take their dogs unleashed, which is an awesome ammentity to have (in addition to the dog spa/ bath). The apartment is like its own little community where residents know each other. The building is less than a minute from the interstate, which is great for individuals who travel or work outside of West Des Moines. Onsite fitness center, saltwater pool, community room, and secure mail/ package room are also great. Pet waste stations are all around the building and they use a poo-prints system (dog dna) which makes pet owners responsible for picking up after their pet, which makes for a nice and clean environment.
