Iowa City Neighborhoods Photo Page Iowa City has an abundance of beautiful, historic and healthy neighborhoods close to downtown and the University of Iowa. Perhaps the most notable is a historic extension of downtown known as the Northside Marketplace. This was the original downtown of Iowa City and is still a popular place for small business to thrive. Many beautiful churches adorn the boundaries of this district and can be seen in the photos below. The tree-lined and well preserved streets of the Longfellow Neighborhood are also incorporated into this photo gallery of Iowa City's near downtown, more urban neighborhoods.
