Downtown, one will find residents lounging in outdoor cafés, savoring fine cuisine, listening to live jazz music, or catching a play at the Riverside Theatre’s Shakespearean stage just down the street from several Iowa City apartments for rent. To the west, the state’s historic Old Capitol Building rises above the University of Iowa campus, embodying the city’s prominence, grace, and heritage. Many students easily find affordable Iowa City apartments for rent near campus.
One doesn’t have to wander too far from downtown to find rolling hills, lush and scattered woodlands, and tall grasses – or apartments for rent in Iowa City that make for an easy day trip into the countryside. In the Iowa City area alone, there are 41 public parks, several of which overlook the scenic Iowa River. Many of these parks feature networks of walking and biking trails as well as quaint picnic sites and prairie reserves. Just north of the city, the Coralville Resevoir offers a multitude of recreational activities, including 5,000 acres of water and plenty of trails for hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing.
