Something special is taking shape in Coralville and if you’ve been waiting for the perfect place to put down roots in the Iowa City corridor, now is the time to pay attention.
West Village is Coralville’s newest residential development, and it’s unlike anything the area has seen before. Inspired by the principles of new urbanism, this community is being built around people, not parking lots. Think tree-lined streets, welcoming front porches, and neighbors you’ll actually know by name.
A Neighborhood Designed for Living
Situated on 28 acres at the southwest corner of Oakdale and Jones Boulevards, West Village is being thoughtfully designed to bring the charm of classic American neighborhoods into a modern setting. The development draws inspiration from Iowa City’s beloved Peninsula Neighborhood, as well as the architecture of late 19th and early 20th century towns, hallmarks include well-defined front porches, streetscapes close to the road, and classic architecture that stands the test of time.
Pedestrians come first here. Street widths are kept intentionally narrow, just wide enough for fire and emergency access and all garages are tucked away at the rear, accessible only from private alleys. This keeps the streetscape clean, inviting, and genuinely walkable.
Something for Everyone: A Variety of Home Types
West Village will offer 452 residential units across a range of home styles, so whether you’re a first-time buyer, a growing family, or looking to downsize without sacrificing community, there’s a place for you here:
- Single-family detached homes with traditional architecture and curb appeal
- Townhomes perfect for low-maintenance living
- Condominiums and multi-family units, including 107 units located above first-floor commercial space in two mixed-use buildings at the heart of the development
That mixed-use design means you may be able to walk downstairs to grab your morning coffee or visit a local shop, the kind of convenience that makes everyday life just a little bit better.
Parks, Green Space & Community Amenities
One of the standout features of West Village is its commitment to outdoor living and community gathering. Residents will enjoy:
- A 0.70-acre park with a playground and gazebo
- A dedicated dog park
- A sedge meadow stormwater feature with a walking path connecting the neighborhood to Crossing Ridge Drive
- A natural prairie park, a nod to Iowa’s stunning landscape heritage
With 3.5 acres of park and open space woven throughout the development, West Village truly lives up to its walkable, community-centered vision.
Conveniently Located & Connected
West Village sits adjacent to the newly opened East Ridge Elementary School on Crossing Ridge Drive, a major plus for families. Infrastructure investments by the City of Coralville, including an Oakdale Boulevard extension and a new central trunk sewer system, are laying the groundwork to make this neighborhood fully functional and future-ready.
The City Council has been actively behind this project since 2022, recognizing the urgent need for housing in Johnson County, one of Iowa’s fastest-growing counties. Since 2000, Johnson County’s population has grown by 38%, and housing supply simply hasn’t kept pace. West Village is a meaningful step toward changing that.
This is Your Moment
Ground has been broken, and momentum is building. Foundations are going in, and interest in West Village is growing fast. Whether you’re drawn by the architectural charm, the walkable lifestyle, the parks, or simply the opportunity to be part of something new in the community, this is a neighborhood worth exploring.
