Load moreRenting in Iowa
Instead of having one dominant market, Iowa rentals are spread out across midsize metros, college towns, and rural agricultural hubs. Demand is driven by major universities, such as the University of Iowa and Iowa State University, along with the state’s strong agricultural industry. Manufacturing and healthcare jobs also funnel renters to eastern and central Iowa, creating a balanced market throughout the state. Generally, the suburbs of Des Moines and college towns like Iowa City have the most expensive properties. Renters can find more affordable Iowa rentals in smaller cities like Fort Dodge, Waterloo, and neighborhoods in the southern parts of the state. The price gap between high-cost and low-cost markets is moderate, with rents differing by a few hundred dollars/mo. Whether you’re looking for cheap apartments in Iowa or high-end homes with yard access, Rentler lists 4,395 rental properties across Iowa — updated daily as soon as new inventory hits the market.

How to Find Affordable Rentals in Iowa
Look for listings in Iowa’s low-cost markets, such as Mason City, Waterloo, and Fort Dodge. Prices run between $300–$800/mo less than Iowa rentals in major markets and job hubs, like Des Moines. While remote and hybrid workers are best positioned to find cheap apartments in Iowa, these affordable areas are still a solid option for employees. Iowa’s budget-friendly markets are central to the healthcare, manufacturing, and agricultural industries. Beyond proximity to local employers and quick commutes, Iowa rentals with the lowest rents are often larger, pet-friendly properties with land access in agricultural regions. However, there are many affordable apartments in Iowa, too.
Frequently Asked Questions About Renting in Iowa
Because of Iowa's mix of housing types and low population density, there are many pet-friendly apartments. Iowa renters often have access to outdoor space, including fenced-in yards on the property or nearby parks and trails. However, listings in the urban core usually have breed and weight restrictions or limit the number of pets per household. Overall, suburban homes in small towns tend to have the highest pet acceptance rates, but many renters manage to find apartments and condos that accommodate their furry friends. Be sure to ask about the landlord’s pet policies, apply early, and discuss your pets upfront to avoid any miscommunication.
From assisted living facilities to 55+ senior housing, Iowa has plenty of age-restricted rentals. The areas with the most inventory are usually Davenport and Sioux City. But because the state has a large retirement community, watch out for long waitlists. If you need to move quickly, your best bet is to look for facilities in small rural towns. However, always consider the property’s proximity to healthcare facilities, essential services, and other important amenities.
When it comes to short-term and furnished rentals, Iowa’s inventory is mostly geared toward traveling workers and university students. As a result, the areas with the most options are either college towns or hubs for healthcare, university, and corporate industries. Ames and Cedar Rapids are great places to look for flexible leases and move-in-ready units with furniture. Try using Rentler’s ‘furnished amenities’ and ‘lease length’ filters to speed up your search.
For the most part, upscale Iowa apartments and homes are concentrated in urban corridors and new-build suburban communities. The Coralville–North Liberty area, East Village, and Waukee are some of the best places to find high-end rentals. Because most of the inventory has premium pricing, renters can use Rentler’s ‘year built’ filter and sort the results by highest price first.
