West Des Moines is located in three Iowa counties. Residents of this area enjoy perusing the local shops at Valley Junction, which began in 1893. Today it serves as the city’s business district, flavored by undeniable community tradition. With more than 100 specialty shops, art galleries, and restaurants, there’s always something new to discover.
On the other side of West Des Moines, Jordan Creek Town Center occupies a large fashion space that includes a 3.5-acre lake and boardwalk. Many apartments are just minutes from the mall’s stores, movie theater, and lakeside restaurants. The city is located in America’s heartland and has cherished quilting since its existence. Quilt-making goes back to the 18th century in West Des Moines, and many people proudly display their creations at city craft expos.
In addition to quilting, residents of West Des Moines enjoy the local productions at Tallgrass Theatre Company on Vine Street.

Property Ratings at Wellington Apartments
Pretty nice apartment for a decent price. The staff is very friendly and helpful if you have questions. My only complaint is that it can be difficult to get maintenance to fix things, and you don't get updates when they do.
Property Manager at Wellington Apartments, Responded To This Review
Thanks again for taking the time to leave us this information about your recent visit. Take care!
i highly recommend the property they are very responsive during my application process and followed up with any maintenance issues that needed to be fixed after moving in. I really had a great experience with the company as a whole and the staff. I couldn't recommend them more. They are always friendly and quick to respond to issues. My move in was really easy and quick.
Wellington Apartments is a friendly community with great amenities, responsive staff and many dog friendly trails nearby! We love living here!
Property Manager at Wellington Apartments, Responded To This Review
We're so happy your experience went Beyond Expectations. Let us know if there's anything else we can do!
The staff and maintenance is great. There is an issue if your lease is not due to renew until mid month and your rent increases. Their system won’t charge you the difference until after your renewal date and you get a bill after you already paid rent for the month.
Had to call maintenance because my AC was not working. They were there 1st thing in the morning and assured me that it would be taken care of right away. Maint staff is AMAZING!!!
Everything about living here has been great for the most part! My only complaint is with my garage. I put it multiple requests to get it fixed and nothing changed and now am waiting for the service supervisors to find me one that works near my unit. Aside from that I haven’t had any issues. The Wellington team has been great with getting back to me regarding my garage and helping any way they can
The apartments are very clean and very beautiful I really love living here, the kreo gym stores are close to you that it has been a great option to choose these apartments

Wellington is a great place to live! It is safe, friendly, and the staff are proactive. The apartments are also pet friendly which is very important to us. The maintenance staff is excellent, but we really haven't had many issues to begin with. Considering the location, two pools, the gym, and overall quality, I think Wellington is one of the best bangs for your buck in the Des Moines area.
Quiet neighborhood, with tons of trees and the perfect location in West Des Moines! We plan to stick around for more years to come!
Property Manager at Wellington Apartments, Responded To This Review
Hi, we're so glad that we were able to go above and beyond your expectations!
Wellington is definitely a place I’m proud to call home. The atmosphere is welcoming and there is so much offered. Newly renovated apartments is a plus.

Beautiful property. Very quiet. I love the dog parks and swimming pools. Looking forward to trying out the fitness center soon. My apartment is roomy, I don’t hear my neighbors at all.
Property Manager at Wellington Apartments, Responded To This Review
You're the best! We really appreciate the positive review.
Honestly, in the week that I have been in here, I absolutely like the responsiveness of the maintenance crew. I have had a couple work orders submitted and if they haven't come the same day it was the next day.
Property Manager at Wellington Apartments, Responded To This Review
Thank you so much - hope you have a fantastic day!
Moved in over the weekend. The leasing lady was very helpful and my apartment was spotless. Such a quite apartment can’t hear any of the neighbors.

I really liked living here in the neighborhood, because it is very quiet and all the people are very friendly, I like how they encourage the love of pets, I also congratulate the maintenance people of the condominium for the great job they do to maintain it everything at a hundred.

The staff are attentive, supportive, efficient, and friendly. The amenities are great, we use them all. The apartments are nice, spacious, and most of the neighbors are friendly and quiet. There are lots of dogs, and the dog parks are kept up quite well. This was my first apartment at 19, from 2002 to to 2004. Moving back here has felt like coming home. We love it here!

I think Wellington seems nice. I’m new, but my dog and me love the open grounds and dog parks. I’ll be checking out more of the amenities soon. I had a maintenance issue and they came right away. Sebastian is completely cool in the leasing office.

So far the experience has been great! Staff has been very helpful in answering any questions I’ve had. Everything was well prepared for the most part in my apartment. Only negative thing so far is the shower drain was clogged but that’s a minor fixable issue. Aside from that I m very much enjoying the apartment and community!

Hi - thanks for letting us know we have some work to do on our services.! We'll be sure to share with the team here at Wellington Apartments!
Wellington is a nice apartment complex with good management. There are some hiccups from time to time like pools opening later in the summer or renovations that need to be made to an older complex. The maintenance team is very good here.
Property Manager at Wellington Apartments, Responded To This Review
Thanks so much for taking the time to give us this feedback! We appreciate you.
The apartment itself is spacious and well-designed. The layout makes good use of the space, and there is plenty of natural light. The kitchen is complete with appliances, and the living areas are comfortable. One of the standout features is the fitness center, which provides a nice spot to workout.

Hi there - 100% satisfaction is our goal! Great to see Wellington Apartments gave you such a great experience.
Could be better use to love it here but lately feels like issue after issue. Management doesn’t really help when talked to and the residents have been out of dog bags for the past month

Greystar seems to cheap out on stuff like renovations and maintenance. The exteriors were renovated and painted in the last year which is nice, but the gutters have been falling off of the roofs just months after being replaced. This matches the interior renovation experience. Service requests can take anywhere from a day or two to a couple months to complete. They didn't hire plumbers to do plumbing in the new units and caused multiple water leaks in just a couple months. They had to cut up and replace some wet ceilings which took over four weeks to send someone to patch up the open holes with no communication from the office or maintenance. My unit was without a refrigerator for 6 weeks and when it finally got replaced, it was just some filthy fridge that had been sitting in a garage or empty unit for months. Documents get lost consistently. My garage was apparently needed for excess storage but they didn't tell me that and just started using it before eventually assigning me a new one. It's a nice location and the general maintenance people themselves are super friendly. So I do hope Greystar tries to put some effort in some day. They love to say they're trying to improve but after two years the results haven't shown much if any actual attempt to do that.

Hi there - we regret to hear you were displeased with your recent experience at Wellington Apartments. Please feel free to get in touch if you'd like to discuss it with us directly so we can make it right.
the management here are very unproffesional, walked into the leasing office to meet for a tour. Upon entering a leasing agent was blaring rap music about drugs and sex. Keep in mind I had my 7 year old with me. We immediately walked out and never returned. With him being so influenced at this age he continues singing the part of the song he heard to this day whenever he wants to show off.
Property Manager at Wellington Apartments, Responded To This Review
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to let us know about your recent experience. We are disappointed to hear that offensive music was being played and we will address it accordingly. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
I'd give them 0 stars if possible. Benefits of living in Wellington? Forget about swimming or going to the gym, as they've been under "construction" indefinitely and may never be finished! Do you like long walks? Great! Due to other eternal construction projects, enjoy walking a quarter mile from your parking spot to your unit! But best of all is their outstanding, best in class Tennant service! When it comes time to renew your lease, enjoy price hikes ranging from $1000 more/month to $4000 if you want to go month to month! The wonderful ladies at the leasing office will tell you that the hikes are to "avoid mass exodus" (try to square that circle) and then hang up on you! Unethical, bad business, and no wonder why everyone is leaving.
Property Manager at Wellington Apartments, Responded To This Review
Good afternoon, We are sorry that you have not had a good experience. We are making many improvements to the community, and we understand that can be an inconvenience sometimes - closed amenities for renovation, parking, etc. The good news... it's temporary, and we will have a brand-new fitness center (expected to open this month!) and both pools up and running for next summer. The new roofing project was completed and all the equipment, supplies and waste receptacles are now removed- hopefully this helps, especially with parking! Regarding the renewal, it sounds like there may be some confusion- please contact the leasing office if you have any questions; we'd like the chance to explain the options. Thank you for being here--Wellington Apartments
location, maintenance, and landscaping are great but both pools have been closed since 2019 so not sure why they still advertise that this amenity is available
Property Manager at Wellington Apartments, Responded To This Review
We appreciate all reviews, and appreciate you giving us the chance to improve by providing us with this feedback. We are diligently working on the repairing the pools. Because the pools were closed since 2019 by prior management the closure caused unknown and severe damages that we are working to repair to pass code. We apologize for the time it is taking and hope to be able to open the pool soon.
I hate writing negative reviews, but I feel an obligation to warn people away from Wellington Apartments. Since moving in about a little over a year ago, I've had problems with my toilet, my bathtub tap, my kitchen sink leaking, my refrigerator leaking, my hot water heater failed, my dishwasher doesn't function, and when I moved in, the drawers in the kitchen and bathroom were filled with nail clippings and other trash. It took six months for the management to replace one of those drawers. When I signed up for a garage, they clearly didn't clean it out, as there was broken glass in one corner and a pile of poop in another. I consistently have to hound maintenance to fix any of these problems. Management has also shown an unwillingness to compromise or work together to make my space livable. Last summer, they closed the pool early, so it was open for less than a month, despite it being the top amenity listed! I've really tried to make Wellington work for me, and I've approached the management team in good faith multiple times, but they do not appear to care or have any desire to help fix my apartment. If I could afford it, I would break my lease in a heartbeat. I highly recommend avoiding Wellington Apartments if you can!
