Premier Living in a Premium Location
When choosing a new home, location is everything. It’s why most condos talk up their proximity to nightlife, venues, and so on. At Elevate, though, it’s not just talk—our premier location in the Corridor is truly unbeatable. It’s what sets us apart and makes life here so convenient—and so unique.
Located near both Interstate 80 and 380, Elevate sits at the heart of the action in the Corridor. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood in Coralville, you’d never guess that Elevate is only minutes away from some of the best shopping and entertainment in the area. Whether you’re a professional who commutes, a remote worker, a frequent traveler, or just someone who likes to be in the thick of it all, Elevate is the perfect place for you to call home. By bike, by car, or on foot: you’ll have easy access to it all. Here’s just how close we are to all the essentials—and the non-essentials, too!
