Prime Location in Iowa City
At Cambridge Place Apartments, location is more than just a pin on the map—it’s your gateway to everything Iowa City has to offer. Nestled on the city’s west side, our community is ideally situated for both convenience and lifestyle. Whether you’re a passionate Hawkeye fan, a student at the University of Iowa, a retiree looking for ease and access, or simply someone who enjoys having everything close by, Cambridge Place delivers a location that checks all the boxes.
Just a short walk away, you’ll find some of the most iconic sports venues in Iowa. Legendary Kinnick Stadium, home to the University of Iowa football team, is right around the corner—no need to worry about game day traffic or parking. Carver-Hawkeye Arena, where you can catch Big Ten basketball, wrestling, volleyball, and gymnastics, is equally close. These world-class facilities are just the beginning. Within a 10–15 minute walk of our apartment complex, you’ll also find the U of I Soccer Complex, Duane Banks Field for baseball, Bob Pearl Softball Field, and Dr. Christine H.B. Grant Field for field hockey. Whether you’re an avid fan, a student-athlete, or someone who just enjoys the energy of college sports, you’ll love how accessible it all is from Cambridge Place.
For golfers, it doesn’t get much better than living directly across the street from Finkbine Golf Course. This scenic 18-hole course is open to the public and offers a great way to unwind, meet friends, or enjoy a sunny afternoon. And if you’re curious about the Hawkeyes’ rich sports history, the University of Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame is only a few blocks away and well worth a visit.
But it’s not just about sports—nature and relaxation are right outside your door as well. Cambridge Place is surrounded by green spaces and neighborhood parks that give you even more ways to enjoy the outdoors. King Park, located just three blocks away, features a small baseball diamond and open space for casual recreation. Willow Creek Park, less than five blocks away, is one of Iowa City’s favorites. It offers walking and biking trails, a playground, covered picnic areas, and large open spaces perfect for a morning jog, an evening walk, or a weekend family outing. There’s also a charming neighborhood park just half a block from our property, with swings and playground equipment ideal for quick visits with little ones or a peaceful moment of fresh air.
For those who enjoy staying active, the nearby Hawkeye Tennis & Recreation Complex adds even more variety. Alongside it runs a multi-use trail that stretches all the way through Coralville, North Liberty, and Tiffin. Whether you’re biking for fitness, walking for peace of mind, or exploring new parts of the area, this connected trail system makes it easy to stay on the move without leaving your community.
Transportation is also a breeze. The city bus system has a stop right in front of our apartment complex, making it simple to reach the University of Iowa campus, medical centers, shopping districts, and downtown Iowa City—all without needing a car. Whether you’re commuting to work, heading to class, or running errands, you’ll appreciate the ease and reliability of local transit.
At Cambridge Place Apartments, our location makes every day easier, more exciting, and more connected. It’s perfect for residents who want to experience the best of Iowa City apartment living without sacrificing peace, comfort, or accessibility. With sports, nature, transit, and everyday essentials just minutes away, there’s no better place to call home.

Highly Recommend This Complex
Fantastic experience, lived there for two years with absolutely no complaints. Clark and all management are awesome, they really put a lot of care into the complex and put you first as tenants. They are quick with maintenance and are willing to help with anything. If there is an availability, take it for sure. Would gladly live there again.
