| Rental
options in the Iowa City/Coralville area include apartments, houses, rooms,
and efficiencies. Some are close to campus; some are farther out in
more traditional neighborhoods or rural settings.
Typically,
area landlords will require a one-year lease beginning on July 1 or
August 1, so advertising may begin as early as March or April. Rents
range from $400-$1,000 a month, depending on the unit's size, location,
and amenities.

Where
to find rental
listings
You won't have to go far off campus to find a place,
since hundreds of apartments are located within a few blocks of the
main downtown campus. However, if you're looking for something quiet
or more family-oriented, there's no shortage of
neighborhood
rentals available in Iowa City, Coralville, and nearby North Liberty.
