It is not unusual to pay $600+ for a two person rental in downtown Iowa City. As always, rent tends to be cheaper the further you are from the downtown area. In many cases it may be wise to buy a home rather than rent an apartment if planning to stay more than a few years.
Listings of apartments, houses and mobile homes for rent or for sale in the Iowa City area are contained in the classified sections of the Daily Iowan, the Iowa City Press Citizen, the Shopper, and the Advertiser. Many apartment listings are also on bulletin boards in businesses in Iowa City, particularly in laundromats. Local realtors, often have information on rental units in addition to property for sale.
