neighborhoods/apartment recs?

Hello! I just accepted a job offer in Des Moines and will be relocating end of February/early March.

I am looking for recommendations for housing in the area. I'd love to be somewhere downtown, and walking distance to a park/restaurants/cafe/etc.

I'm looking for something upscale and I don't have a budget, but ideally 2500/mo or less. Ideally 1 bedroom with a den, or 2 bed 1 bath.
