Aspire at West Campus Apartamentos

I love living at Aspire!!! You will love it too!!!!! Aspire is one of the best rental places to live in Iowa City. It is super clean, quiet, the staff at the office and the maintenance workers are super friendly, the grounds and the buildings are well kept, and the neighbors are nice. If you want a great rental experience during grad school or if you are a new faculty member coming to Iowa City, there is no better place to live!!!!

Great place to live I am a first year graduate student and living at Aspire has made the transition from undergrad to graduate school smooth.

Best place to live in Iowa City!!! Aspire is definitely the best place to live in Iowa City! Close to the University of Iowa and to UIHC, on the CAMBUS route, close to shops and downtown Iowa City, and with the best staff and maintenance people. Aspire is very clean and safe. I definitely recommend it!!!

Great for Hospital employees and medical students Aspire has almost everything I look for in an apartment: 1:1 bedroom/bathrooms, in unit laundry, friendly staff, efficient maintenance, a bus stop to the hospital for work, a dog park, and outdoor spaces to grill/visit with friends. The only thing I really wish was different was that there was a pool. There is lots of comparing to other student housing options in the area, but aspire is the only one that doesn’t have a pool. I would love to see... that change. Lee mas

I lived here with my partner for 2 years in a 2x2 unit.
Pros: Unit is huge. Fairly quiet. Maintenance was responsive. Ample parking. Package service. Grills and dog park. Pet friendly.
Cons: the office staff, while plentiful, was bothersome to work with and often not helpful. Our apartment was FILTHY upon move in. The gym usually had 1+ broken machine. Common areas were usually pretty dirty for extended periods. Above all, I just think there is better value out there. For the price point there... are places with better amenities (pools, basketball courts, better gyms), and in better locations (although I like the walkability to the tennis stadium gym). I also think the apartment is overall cheaply built, despite being new.

It’s not a bad place to live, and if we were staying in Iowa City we might have resigned (although the $100 rent increases seem excessive year over year), but if I had toured around more I don’t think I would’ve lived here to begin with. Lee mas
