About 1434 Martin Luther King Jr Pkwy

Care for some income while building equity? This 6-bedroom, 2,100+ sq.ft. duplex may just be your ticket! The upper unit is currently rented on a month-to-month basis, while the ground-level unit is being held empty as some updates are being completed. The new owner should have at least three choices of how to maximize the value of this home: live in the lower unit, rent the lower unit for extra income, or convert the property back to one single family home and enjoy the 6 bedrooms all to yourself. Numerous properties close by have undergone extensive renovations, and the City of Des Moines is slated in 2024 to begin a $10,000,000+ public works building project just a block to the North, showing its commitment to the continued enhancement of this neighborhood.
