It is a nice place to live. There is good access to public transport, the gym on the property is nice, and there is another within a 5 minute walk from it, and the clear cut creek trail right next to the property is great for running biking and walking.

      This has been the perfect place to live with our dog. Friends for him everywhere along with a dog park and dog waste stations scattered around. Maintenance staff are also very timely and well-mannered. Workout room isn't anything to write home about but it's definitely a nice touch to have. Can't go wrong with the free coffee machine too!

        I enjoy living at Aspire - they always address any issues that have come up in my apartment, and always super nice and courteous. Outside areas are always kept clean and are enjoyable to bring my dog on walks. It's just a nice place to relax after a busy work day, something that's much needed!

              Great, very safe and welcoming! I will ask more people to live here. It is a great community with nice amenities. Convenient location. Rent is reasonable. It would be great if we can add little more work and study areas.

                  I've had a wonderful time living here thus far. The staff is very charismatic, the maintenance team is super helpful, and the community is full of people who are friendly. I would definitely recommend Aspire to anyone looking to rent near the university.

                    Apartments are small but spacious, perfect for a college student. Bus transportation is very easy to use. Community is very safe, I like that you can only open the doors with your ID card. I also like that the community is pet friendly (you can note in your lease application whether or not you want to live with a pet).

                        the overall community is nice, there is good access to public transportation but there are no nearby stores which is annoying. Also, the apartment had some issues in move-in that is still not fixed to this day

                          I like living here. The community is great. The events they held are really interesting! And lots of my colleagues from the lab live here. It is really convenient to take a cambus to the hospital. And it is also quite environment.

                            We were put into a difficult position with a previous lease and needed somewhere to stay on very short notice. The office staff was immensely helpful and wanted to ensure we would have a home on such short notice. They worked everything out very quickly and helped us so much with the move in process.

                              It's a nice apartment. The community is pretty quiet, and it seems to be well-maintained. The front desk staff is helpful. They have ample study spaces if you don't want to study in your room, a gym, a patio and grill, and more. They also have a specific bus stop, which is super helpful if you attend the university.

                                It has been great, welcoming, safe, and nice. However, it was hard to move-in to the apartment halfway through our orientation week. I had to stay in and pay for a hotel prior to moving in so I wish that was different.

We were upset at first, but we are working around the issues and purchasing things to make it more efficient for us. The staff seem nice and helpful, I like how the bus comes to the community, the park for my kids, the walking areas, and it's not very noisy.

                                            I was recommended this apartment by many in my graduate program. They seem to have no problems after move in. However the move in process was excruciating. Was told that I could not move in until after my program started, and was barely given any information about the property at move in. Hallways are filthy. Inside apartment is ok. Lots of great natural lighting. Walls/ceilings are incredibly thin. You will hear every footstep and door close around you. It's fine for temporary graduate housing.

                                                The maintenance staff were not kind to my animal. They left my cat in a locked room with no food, water, or litter for twelve hours after fixing the air conditioning. She tried so hard to escape that there was blood on the door.

                                                  The community is quite relaxed, friendly, and in a great location for students and employees that want to be able to enjoy what Iowa City and Coralville have to offer without dealing with life downtown.

                                                    A:Ā They used this "fitness center" as an excuse to jack the price up. In my opinion it's false advertising. I lived in San Diego for $700 a month not too long ago. There's nothing to do in Iowa City relative to big cities to justify the cost. There's no excuse. They dont even spend on employees. The whole place is almost entirely unattended. The least they could do is hire more people who need jobs. And this place is supposed to be housing for graduate and professional students. The UI regents had the chance to strike down the asinine pricing. They chose not to. Probably has something to do with fact that the UI president has zero academic background. Only a business degree with a specialty in gutting and rearranging companies.

                                                    A:Ā Their are a few guest spots, but when the office is closed nothing is enforced and residents and guests take up all of these spots. Happens most of the time even when the office is open.
