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. As you get farther from the river, the landscape adopts a more suburban feel, with charming single-family homes and a quieter environment than you’d find closer to campus. The nearby Coralville Mall is one of the biggest in the region, attracting shoppers from around the state. A short drive up Interstate 380 will take you to the sprawling Hawkeye Wildlife Management Area, a gorgeous nature preserve perfect for camping, boating, and hiking.
