Living in Iowa City

Iowa City is a vibrant community of 62,000 set along the rolling banks of the Iowa River. The city is infused with a lively mix of restaurants, shops, historic architecture, music, art, festivals, sports, and theater, yet retains the scope and friendliness of a small town. With its numerous parks, outstanding schools, four distinct seasons, and strong sense of community, Iowa City is an exceptional—and comfortable—place to live and learn.

Located centrally in the Midwest, Iowa City is just 3.5 hours by car from Chicago, and 4 to 5 hours from Minneapolis/St. Paul, Kansas City, St. Louis, Milwaukee, and Omaha. The Eastern Iowa Airport in Cedar Rapids, with direct connections to major Midwestern hubs, is only about 30 minutes away.
