Working from home
Working from home at The Jefferson
The two-bedroom plan is the quiet advantage for anyone working from home: the second bedroom becomes the office, with a door that closes.
The second bedroom as an office
Every home is a two-bedroom of about 850 square feet. When one person works from home, the second bedroom is the obvious office: a separate room with a door, not a corner of the living room. New flooring, fresh paint and good light come with it.
Internet
Residents arrange their own internet service with the providers that serve SE 14th Street. We do not name providers or speeds here because both change; the leasing office can tell you what current residents use.
On the days you go in
When you do commute, downtown Des Moines is about 3.4 miles north and errands are already on your street, so the trip out is short. Every home is a renovated two-bedroom, one bath, about 850 square feet, with a new kitchen, a redone bath, new flooring and fresh paint, and a stove and refrigerator included. Live pricing is on the availability page.
