About Iowa City's Wellington Neighborhood

After the rolling hills of the Brown Deer Neighborhood yesterday, I'm heading over to the east side of Iowa City with my photos today and a much different landscape. The Wellington neighborhood is known for its beautiful pond views and wonderfully maintained green areas. The Wellington neighborhood is set in a park like setting in the Village Green Subdivision and is about as far east as you can go in Iowa City at the moment, (although that will change as they continue to build in the area).

To put some perspective on the distance, Iowa City is not that big and from the Wellington Neighborhood it's about 10 - 15 minutes to downtown Iowa City. In fact, it's an easy commute for all the amenities downtown Iowa City has to offer. What it isn't close to is the Interstate. That's something to keep in mind if you're relocating to the Iowa City area and are drilling down your options. Buying real estate may be less about location than it used to be with 2 and 3 car households, but with gas prices where they're at I've found clients have become more conscious about buying homes closer to the amenities they need.

These photos were taken while I was out with clients looking at ranch style condos in the Wellington Neighborhood. The prices of the condos we looked at ranged from $200,000 - $299,000. I was standing on the deck above when I took the one of the fish. They were definitely super-sized and bigger than they appear in the photo!
