    Private entryDedicated parking spotAttractive decorative lighting

    Prime Iowa City Location with Private Entry Step into a freshly renovated one-bedroom, one-bath apartment attached to a historic single-family home at 5 S Johnson St, just 34 blocks from the Old Capitol and the heart of downtown Iowa City. This 450 sq ft unit offers a private entry and a quiet sunroom off the kitchen, providing additional storage or a comfortable sitting area. Located one block from College Green Park and steps from New Pioneer Co-op, the property places campus, dining, and cultural destinations within easy walking distance.Thoughtful Renovation and Stylish Finishes Renovated in summer 2022, the apartment features brand-new kitchen cabinetry, countertops, sink, and faucet, plus a modern oven/range and over-the-range microwave. Luxury vinyl plank flooring flows throughout the main living areas, complemented by attractive decorative lighting, four new windows that bring natural light, and fresh paint with updated wall texture. The result is a bright, move-in-ready space that blends historic charm with contemporary finishes.Efficient Layout and Smart Storage The living room is well-sized for comfortable seating and entertaining, while the bedroom is compact and cozy. A versatile bonus area adjacent to the bedroom can be used as an office, extra storage, or a small study. Built-in hallway dresser and closet space maximize organization without crowding the footprint. The sunroom provides a flexible nook for plants, a reading chair, or pantry overflow.Comfort and Practical Amenities This unfurnished unit includes a dedicated parking spot and a window air-conditioning unit for cooling. There is no in-unit laundry. Lawn care and snow removal are included, reducing seasonal chores for tenants. Available beginning August 1, 2026, the lease term is 12 months. Tenants are responsible for electric and gas; water and trash are split with the main house. Applicants should have a 650+ credit score or provide a co-signer. A $40 application fee applies. No smoking and no pets are permitted.Why This Unit Stands Out Ideal for a student, professional, or couple seeking a compact, well-appointed home near campus and downtown amenities, this apartment combines a coveted Iowa City address with practical updates and thoughtful layout features. This property offers a clean, updated, and centrally located rental opportunity in one of Iowa City's most desirable neighborhoods.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
