Des Moines officials may sell Royal View Manor, the nine-story high-rise at 1101 Crocker St. It's public housing that has 200 units and houses about the same number of people. Several private developers are reportedly interested. It was appraised for $2.85 million in 2006. This would be part of the U.S. government's urging to spread out public housing and help avoid high concentrations of poverty in certain areas. Minneapolis and Chicago have pursued plans similar to the one under review in Des Moines.
