Welcome Home
Located in West Des Moines, Iowa, Valley West Apartments provide a quiet residential lifestyle in close proximity to all the entertainment, dining and shopping Des Moines has to offer. With public transportation nearby, there is always the option to enjoy the city or relax in the Courtyard and Community areas.
Valley West, an income based apartment home community, caters to seniors 62+ and/or disabled.
This property participates in the Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance program meaning the rent for many, if not all, units is based on a tenant's income. You would not pay more than 30% of your income for rent. To qualify, you must earn 50% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI), which you can find on this page’s income chart. Also, project-based Section 8 properties tend to have longer waiting lists, with some with waiting lists going out for years. This property was also financed through a HUD-insured private mortgage meaning the owner has oversight from both a private bank and HUD. This usually means Valley West is kept in good condition. Since this property has a project-based Section 8 contract, you won't need a Section 8 voucher to live here. If you have a voucher, you may have to give it up to live here.
