When you’re searching through Iowa City apartment complexes, the options can feel overwhelming. But finding the right place isn’t just about price or square footage—it’s about finding a community that fits your lifestyle.
At Cambridge Place Apartments, we know what makes a rental feel like home. As a family-owned and operated complex, we’ve been welcoming residents for decades with personalized service, thoughtfully designed spaces, and features that make everyday life easier. Here’s what to look for when comparing apartments in Iowa City—and why so many people love calling Cambridge Place home.

A Location That Keeps You Connected—Without the Noise
One of the most important things to consider when exploring Iowa City apartment rentals is location. Do you want quick access to downtown, the University of Iowa, and nearby parks—without being in the middle of the hustle?
Cambridge Place is tucked into a quiet residential neighborhood, yet just blocks from Finkbine Golf Course, Kinnick Stadium, and Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Whether you’re cheering on the Hawkeyes, heading to a class or appointment, or strolling the neighborhood, you’re close to everything—but just far enough away for peace and quiet. And with a city bus stop right outside our building, getting around couldn’t be easier.
Amenities That Make Life Smoother
Many Iowa City apartment complexes advertise long lists of amenities—but which ones truly make a difference day to day?
Here at Cambridge Place, we’ve focused on practical features that improve your comfort and convenience:
- Heated underground parking to make winter mornings stress-free
- In-unit washer and dryer hookups, so you can do laundry on your schedule
- Private patios or balconies with every unit—because a little fresh air makes a big difference
- Secure keyed entry to the building, giving you added peace of mind
- A cozy read-and-share resident library and a small fitness room on-site
From your first tour to move-in day and beyond, our goal is to make sure your apartment works for you.
A Place That Feels Like Home—Because It Is
What really sets Cambridge Place apart from other Iowa City apartment complexes is our commitment to treating residents like neighbors, not numbers.
As a family-run property, we take pride in being part of the Iowa City community. That means being responsive to your questions, handling maintenance requests quickly, and offering a welcoming environment for everyone—from graduate students to retirees.
We’re not a faceless corporation—we’re people you’ll get to know by name. Many of our residents stay for years, and we believe that speaks volumes.
Designed With Comfort in Mind
Our thoughtfully designed floor plans feature spacious layouts, ample storage, and large windows that bring in plenty of natural light. Whether you’re moving into a one-bedroom unit or something larger, you’ll find:
- Easy elevator access to all floors
- Efficient heating and cooling systems
- Optional garages and additional storage units
- Flexible lease options to suit your lifestyle
And if you’re on the first floor, your patio walks right out onto green space—a perfect setup for relaxing outdoors or enjoying your morning coffee.
