Iowa City is a rapidly-growing community on the banks of the Iowa River. The student body at the University of Iowa comprises a huge portion of the local population, and Hawkeye spirit runs deep both on and off campus — expect to see black and gold everywhere, especially on game days. Iowa City’s historic downtown is right across the river from the university, and hosts a wide assortment of storefront shops, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and performance venues. The student body and ever-expanding downtown district provide an incredible variety of apartments and homes to renters, so no matter your budget or style there’s a perfect fit for you in the city Forbes once named one of the best cities for doing business.

History buffs will also appreciate the beautifully preserved architecture and the museums in and around the Old Capitol building.
