The Quarters at Iowa City Apartments

Lived there for a year and visited other times. Yes, I understand that if you live somewhere you should be able to park there, however, they automatically tow a car when they are notified. They also start towing at 9pm. I don’t know a lot of young people (which is the majority of people who live there) that don’t stay out past 9pm. After we lived there, we went to visit a friend. We were there from 8:45pm-10:40pm. We just went for dinner and then tried to go home, but in that time our car was... towed. It cost us $200 to have dinner at our friends house. That is crazy. If you have friends that you don’t want to screw over, don’t live there and invite them over. It also makes sense as to why many people are so rude there too. If you’re the type of person who is so angry that you didn’t get a good parking spot that you think it’s worth it to ruin someone else’s day and cost them money that you don’t know if they even have, then I can see why you would want to live there. You just don’t know anyone’s situation and I think it’s actually harmful that they don’t even give people a chance to move their cars or anything. They don’t even start by giving tickets.
Lastly, when we moved out, they tried to charge us for damages that were there before we ever moved in. We had the proof so they did knock the price down from $440 to $75. They tried to charge us $440 for damages that they probably knew were there before we moved in. So I know that they probably did that to everyone they could, and I’m sure some people paid that.
They are very hard to work with. If you have been taken advantage of by them, or have wrongly had to pay for your car being towed because you wanted to have dinner at a friends place for 2 hours, they don’t care. I have tried talking to the desk workers and the property managers but usually all they can say is “I’m sorry there’s really nothing we can do.” And they take no responsibility.
So, if you don’t want to be screwed over, and screw over your friends who visit you, I’d highly suggest looking at other places to live! Read More

I actually love living at The Quarters, they have amazing amenities that me and my roommate love especially the 24 hour gym! But they hire private security to be around after hours, sounds great right? Wrong. There is a specific security officer that sees it as his duty to bully tenants and always approaches problems in an extremely rude way. My friends and I have had multiple bad experiences with him and we don’t even party or do loud things. I have been yelled at for doing a workout “too loud”... in the gym by him. I have caught him looking all around my car looking for a reason to ticket me (he didn’t find one haha). He has yelled at us for using the volleyball court after 10pm even when we weren’t being loud (I looked through the whole tenant handbook to see if this is a rule and it is not). We always comply and don’t argue but he is for sure abusing his power and makes living her unpleasant at night, it makes you scared to do anything with the fear of him yelling at you (and I mean yelling). He never approaches a situation in a nice way even to start, it is always yelling to start. Other then this one security officer, this place is great and I wish they would just get ride of him. So hi quarters staff if u see this please get rid of him :) it would make living here so much better. Read More

At first I was nervous that this place was too far from campus, but I've come to love living here. The townhouse style houses are great because I feel very safe (don't have to interact with people in hallways or elevators) in the midst of this pandemic. I had a roommate issue and the management was super helpful. Wish I wasn't moving to another state or I would stay longer.

I have loved living at The Quarters for the past 2 years. It is very pet friendly and has some great amenities. I use the gym every day as it is a decent size for an apartment gym! I'm fairly certain that most of the reviews on this website are old, as the management has been nothing but accommodating since I've been here.

I had moved in to The Quarters at the start of my Freshman year and have continued living here throughout my college experience. There are many opportunities to meet new people because of all of the great amenities they offer including the year-round hot tub, 2 pools, game room, full gym, and study lounge. Also, a huge plus is free parking!

I would recommend The Quarters to anyone who is looking for a fun college experience!
