The Iowa River Landing Development Real Estate And Homes For Sale In Coralville, IA

The Iowa River Landing Area has been growing by leaps and bounds over the last few years. There is so much development happening: commercial, retail shops/restaurants, housing, rentals and ownership, and don't forget the Xtreme Arena opening in the Fall of 2020. The opening of this arena will bring sporting events, concerts, and much more! We have watched the development happen right in front of our eyes.

If you are coming to the area be sure to check out the coffee shops, Scratch Cupcakes, retail shops, and restaurants to name a few. There is plenty of parking, and you can even stay at the Marriott Hotel. This area houses the Fry Fest each September, Winterfest in January, and other events throughout the year. This is an area you won't want to miss!

The upside of the development of the Iowa River Landing is that it has added many great restaurants, stores and fantastic new condos that put you right in the heart of the action.

The downside of it, and I'm speaking from experience here as our office is in the IRL, is that the ongoing large scale construction has made for a few headaches. Tied to the widening and improvement of the final stretch of First Avenue, most folks in the area are feeling the construction pain.

In the end, however, it will all be worth it!! The Iowa Arena, new hotels restaurants, green space, trails and expanded retail space will cement the IRL as the gateway to the Iowa City area!

The expansion and improvement of First Ave. is the linchpin for making the IRL expansion work! See the attached video.
