See What's within Walking Distance of Iowa City Cohousing!

Carolyn Dyer has put together the following Resource Guide to our neighborhood. We are much appreciative!!


As an urban infill development, Prairie Hill will be uniquely close to  nearly everything one needs to meet daily needs. In less than a quarter mile, a distance planners consider ordinarily walkable, there are a general grocery store, two specialty groceries and a convenience store. There are several walkable sit-down restaurants and fine fast food just beyond. Also within a quarter mile, a member could work out, get a haircut, see a lawyer, buy flowers and pet toys, leave a car for service and get a check-up for a pet.


Resource Guide to the Prairie Hill Neighborhood

These resources are listed in order of their distance from Prairie Hill. Distances are measured from either the driveway location at about 951 Miller Avenue or the northeast sidewalk location at about 841 Miller Avenue. Most are in easy biking distance within a half mile; all are within a mile. Several key businesses and services a bit further are noted, as well.
