Ottumwa sits along the banks of the Des Moines River in southeastern Iowa, split between a north and south side connected by a series of bridges that give the city a distinctive look. Downtown is compact and walkable, with historic storefronts, riverside views, and a mix of dining and local businesses within easy reach. Greater Ottumwa Park anchors the heart of the city with 340 acres of green space, and Indian Hills Community College adds an educational presence to the community. The city hosted the first North American Video Olympics in 1982 and was officially recognized as the Video Game Capital of the World that same year. Rentals in Ottumwa tend to be more affordable than the Iowa state average, with a mix of housing options that includes single-story garden apartments, older brick duplexes, and smaller apartment communities scattered across the north and south sides.
