City - Iowa City

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.

Infested with bugs and very poor management overall!

Our apartment is literally infested with bugs (cockroaches) in the kitchen and there are so many of them! They are in our rooms and our closets as well. Despite reporting that multiple times through the emails and the online portal, there’s not a single response yet! Very bad management and no one really responds! Also the elevator for another building is also out of order! And it stays like this forever!

Parking

Parking is NOT included with rent or divided over lease term. $825 one-time fee is due just after move-in. This is NOT noted in the lease, it states appropriate adjustment of rent.
