The Chauncey
Favorites
Imagine the hotel experience as your everyday address: the polish, the convenience, the walk-downstairs-to-everything ease, except you actually live here. Our studios at The Chauncey pair skyline views with floor-to-ceiling light, polished concrete floors, and custom McComas Lacina cabinetry, all in a residence built to hotel-grade standards. Quiet floors, solid construction, and a design made for easy, lock-and-leave living. Choose the layout that fits you. Studios are available in one-bed and two-bed configurations, and select units add a private balcony or an oversized deck for outdoor space of your own, right above downtown. Whether you want a smart, efficient single or room for a partner, a friend, or a colleague, there's a studio to match. And you're settling into one of the best towns in America. Iowa City was named one of CNN's Best Towns to Visit in America for 2026, recognized for its literary heritage as a UNESCO City of Literature, its dynamic downtown, and its lively arts and culture scene. It's a walkable, welcoming college town with the University of Iowa, the Iowa Writers' Workshop, festivals, live music, and Big Ten athletics all part of everyday life. The real luxury is everything downstairs and around the corner. FilmScene cinema and an in-building café [confirm currently open] sit right beneath you, while the Ped Mall, the Englert, and the University of Iowa campus are all minutes away. UIHC and Mercy are close enough to skip the commute entirely. Step out your door and downtown Iowa City, its dining, its culture, its energy, is already yours. And the building does the rest. Every day includes a full-time concierge on-site to receive and hold your packages, professionally cleaned and maintained hallways, and a trash chute on every floor. You get 24-hour access to the fitness center and use of the landscaped outdoor terrace, all folded into the address with no hidden add-ons and no vendors to coordinate. Lease terms run from 6 to 24 months, suited to traveling professionals, physicians relocating to UIHC, visiting scholars, students, and anyone who wants downtown luxury on a timeline that works. Move in, settle in, and let the building take care of the details.

Edit
The sprawling University of Iowa spills across the Iowa River and into Downtown Iowa City: the Main Library, the Engineering Library, the English-Philosophy Building, the College of Education, and the University of Iowa Museum of Natural History are all in the Downtown neighborhood. As a result, Downtown Iowa City is filled with students in backpacks walking to class. This is most definitely Hawkeye country, and the neighborhood is covered in black and gold. During college football season, you'll find many residents heading across the river to Kinnick Stadium to cheer on the Iowa Hawkeyes.
With its wide sidewalks, outdoor cafes, and numerous bicycles parked in bike racks, Downtown Iowa City is a great place to live, often topping "best" lists for livability and as one of the nation's best college towns. Shops and restaurants fill the historic architecture, and cobblestone streets add an old-world elegance to the district.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
