Steps to Downtown Iowa City, Cozy and Colorful!
Unbeatable location! The Van Buren is a block from “Dirty” John’s Grocery, the vibrant Northside restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and more! Then it’s just a quick stroll to downtown Iowa City and the University of Iowa campus. Attending a game? We're a short drive or a lovely walk to the stadiums.
Located just out of the excitement on a quiet street, this colorful and cozy historic home is fully updated with all the amenities you could need to relax, work, or play!
