Welcome to Huntington Park West

Huntington Park West is more than a community—it’s an active, adventure-filled lifestyle designed for those 55 and better. Here, neighbors come together to create a vibrant and engaging environment with the expectation they will volunteer their time to care for beautiful, shared spaces, organize fun social events, and lead committees or serve on the Board of Directors.
Life in Huntington Park West means staying independent while enjoying a strong sense of connection; we are not a care facility. Residents take pride in maintaining their homes and yards, as well as their own health and transportation. They respect the comfort and rights of those around them. With a calendar full of activities and opportunities to get involved, there’s always something happening and new friendships to build.
As a HUD-regulated, age-restricted community, at least one resident in each home must be 55 or older, with age verification required prior to occupancy. To preserve the community’s lifestyle, individuals under 18 may not reside here permanently.
We do our best to accommodate the needs of our residents and foster a comfortable living environment. As a private community, Huntington Park West is not required to meet ADA compliance standards; however, residents have access to emergency services through 911 and the City of Des Moines. It’s a place where independence meets community spirit—full of energy, involvement, and plenty of ways to make every day enjoyable.
