Past history on this forum is there are not a lot of regulars out here that have a good feel for Des Moines rental market. Not sure if you'll get any responses. I can tell you there really is no unsafe place I'm aware of in West Des Moines.

A lady I work with is moving back to the Des Moines area to be closer to her kids. She's been looking for a place to rent in that range for a couple of months and finally found one for $600 or $650, but it's in Madrid which is probably 20-25 miles north of WDM. I'm guessing you'll have to raise your budget a little to live in West Des Moines.

I doubt you will find under $600 in most of the metro, but this is a large apartment commmunity that has pretty reasonable prices for the area. They are in West Des Moines

I already DM'ed the OP this, but there are actually several 1-bedroom apartments in West Des Moines that are $600 a month and under. A few of them include:

Country Club Village
Chapel Ridge West Apartments
Normandy Terrace
Westwood Apartments
Warren House/Terrace

I can't speak to the quality of any of them, but there are usually a couple of vacancies in all of them. In my building it's $615 a month for a 1 Bedroom and there are a few private listings in the Valley Junction area for considerably less. I have a friend who pays $405 a month there (of course it's a studio). I pay $530 a month for a studio in West Des Moines next to the interstate. So there should be no need to live out in Madrid yet. The rent seems to go up every year though, so it won't be long before $600 a month apartments won't be available.

Good Luck finding apartments under $600 in WDM. Try the southside or low income housing elsewhere. Typical apartment around WDM is $800-900 for a 1bedroom. I personally live and Turtle Creek and its way too expensive.
