For those who fancy themselves “city folk,” there are some lofts/apartments for rent above businesses in the downtown area known as Cedar Falls Community Main Street. The apartments are one of the hottest commodities in town and as soon as they open up they are rented out. The cost of rent also tends to fluctuate. Some one-bedroom lofts can cost about $1k/month while other apartments are far less expensive ($750 for three bedrooms). If you’re interested in living down here, shop around and haggle a bit.
If you’re moving to Cedar Falls with a pet or are interested in getting one, be sure to check with the rental office. Many college communities don’t allow pets of any kind while other apartment rentals throughout town welcome them with open arms, er, so long as you pay the $200 deposit, of course.

Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some Cedar Falls apartments offer parking options, either outside in a common area or within a private garage.
Ask about the stipulations around the parking. Those may include how many guests are allowed and where tenants park.
Some apartments may only allow parking in front of your own unit. Guest parking may be in a common area for up to one person.
If parking is scarce, look around the area before you sign a lease. Ample street parking in a neighborhood championed for its safety is probably fine. However, it’s probably not worth signing a lease if it means battling for daily parking for you and your guests.
Research whether you need a city permit to park in the neighborhood. Look into the associated costs and what to do about visitors who need parking.
Some tenants prefer garage parking near their units. However, an open-air lot may prove cheaper.
Keep in mind that the cost of wear and tear from parking outside can add up. It may be less expensive, in the long run, to look for an apartment with garage parking.
