About
Nestled in the heart of Iowa City’s vibrant Northside, Holub Apartments offer a unique blend of historic elegance and contemporary comfort. Housed in one of the area’s oldest and most cherished buildings (historically part of the Slezak-Holub-Skarda complex), these apartments have been lovingly updated under new management.
Our thoughtfully restored units preserve the timeless character of vintage Iowa City living—think high ceilings, original architectural details, and a true neighborhood feel—while incorporating modern amenities for today’s residents. Whether you’re a student, a professional, or looking for a walkable downtown lifestyle, Holub delivers the perfect home base.
