Known as the "Hub City" of Northeast Iowa, Oelwein offers apartments for rent that combine small-town atmosphere with everyday conveniences. Founded in 1872 at the junction of railroad lines, this historic community of nearly 6,000 residents features affordable housing options, with one-bedroom apartments typically renting for around $502 per month – well below the Iowa state average. The city's railroad heritage comes alive at the Hub City Heritage Museum, while the downtown district showcases local history through architecture like the Hotel Mealey building.
Oelwein's eight public parks enhance the local rental experience. City Park offers lake activities including boating and swimming, while Wings Park features the Family Aquatics Center with its 150-foot water slide. The Williams Center for the Performing Arts hosts local performances and events, and the Williams Wellness Center provides fitness facilities. With a cost of living below the national average and easy access to shopping, dining, and healthcare services, Oelwein delivers an authentic Iowa living experience.

Apartment communities change their rental rates often - sometimes multiple times a day. We track the changes and keep you up to date when a rental rate decreases.
"Best value" units are located in buildings rated three stars or higher. We label apartment rentals that are priced significantly less than similar high-quality units nearby.
Apartment communities regularly advertise deals for new residents. Whether it's a move-in special or a free tv, we locate the rentals that offer a little something extra when you sign your lease.
