From your new student housing at 645 S Lucas Street, you’ll be able to stroll along tree-lined streets to get to class each day. Swing by the excellent coffee shops downtown on your way to the campus – pick up a Mint White Mocha from The Java House and drink it when you get to your lecture. Swing by Pedestrian Mall later on to catch a classic movie at independent theater FilmScene, before sampling the Fromage Fantasy at intimate Crêpes de Luxe Café, a two-minute walk away. Or pick up some deli items from Bread Garden Market to tuck into at home!

You’ll have the best of both worlds when you live at 645 S Lucas Street. You can get to the University of Iowa in a five-minute drive or in around 20 minutes on foot, but you’ll also be able to easily escape the city hustle and bustle when you get back home. Swing by the New Pioneer Food Co-op on your way back to pick up some coffee and fresh bread for breakfast the next morning.

Wake up in your comfy bed and hop straight into the shower in your shared bathroom. Get ready in front of the sink vanity before choosing something to wear from your spacious wardrobe. When you’re ready, you can head to the kitchen to join your housemates to rustle up something to eat, and sit out on the balcony in the sunshine. No need to worry about cleaning up afterwards – your dishwasher will handle the pots and pans.

After class, you can take time personalising your room and making the large living area really feel like home. In winter spend some of your free time sitting by the cozy glow of the fireplace to do your reading, and when summer comes you can catch up on some work while sunbathing out on your deck or patio. If things get a bit too hot, you’ll always have the air conditioning to cool you down.

Later on, you can catch up on your chores by taking a load of clothes to the on-site laundry facility at 645 S Lucas Street. When you’re all finished, you can join your friends for some of the best tacos in Iowa City at La Regia Taqueria restaurant, which is just seven minutes away by car.
