Lived Here For Two Years

Staff has been incredibly patient and understanding, maintenance shows up as soon as you file a request, and the pricing/space is very fair. Best apartment I've had.

Great place to live

This is the first place in Iowa City I've actually enjoyed living in. The staff are all super friendly and helpful, and I'm always impressed with how quickly the drive ways and sidewalks are cleared from snow in the winter. The apartments themselves are well maintained, and maintenance is pretty easy to get a hold of if something happens. The only real downside is no in unit washer/ dryer.
