Can't say enough great things about James and his business…read more Super guy, competitive pricing, hardworking, reliable. We hired James to power wash our entire home including vinyl siding, covered porch, paved patio, front porch, as well as clean our gutters and exterior windows. He spent half a day at our 1800 sq. ft. home and it looked great when he was finished. There were some pretty tricky areas including removing a bird's nest and cleaning a pair of skylights. James gave us a free estimate well within 24 hours of my initial contact via his website and got us worked into his schedule within a couple of weeks. Highly recommend.

If you're a college student looking to rent downtown, I'd definitely recommend Hodge! We rented…read morefrom them for 3 years during undergrad and I can say that compared to other companies that operate downtown Hodge has great customer service and EXTREMELY fair pricing for the location! We lived at the 130 E. Jefferson property (directly across from the biology building) and Y'ALL we were paying less than some of my friends who lived down near the railroad tracks renting from other companies. Central air, secured keypad entry (not like some of these any-key-will-open-the-door buildings!!!), walking distance (literally less than a minute to the PBB or Pentacrest), and CLEAN. Monthly pest control and the hallways in the building were always pristine as well. Jodi was always extremely helpful answering any questions or helping resolve any issues and never acted like tenants were an annoyance. SERIOUSLY ALL OF THE EMPLOYEES ARE SO NICE! THE NICEST COMPANY I'VE RENTED FROM. If you're looking for your first apartment out of the dorms and want to live downtown/east campus and not get screwed over by all of the awful housing in downtown Iowa City, I'd HIGHLY recommend Hodge.

I lived at 203 Myrtle Avenue from 2014 to 2017, in 2 different apartments. I would definitely…read morerecommend it to anyone looking for a cheap but decent place to live. It's way cheaper than anywhere else downtown because it's dorm style, not because there's anything wrong with it. Every floor has a men's room, a ladies' room, and a kitchen. The restrooms have multiple toilets and showers, plus you can always go to another floor. I never couldn't shower when I wanted to and usually had the whole room to myself. The common areas are clean and the appliances work. Washers and dryers stopped working occasionally but always got fixed or replaced soon. Management were responsive and helpful. They always answered the phone during business hours and had an emergency number you could call 24/7. The bathroom ceiling started leaking at 1 a.m. and was fixed by 5 a.m. That's the only major maintenance issue in 3 years. Pest control sprayed every month, and I never had more than the occasional lone insect. Heating and AC were powerful and never broke. I got my security deposit back even though I didn't clean super thoroughly. Rent increases were modest, around 10 dollars a year. I rented a parking spot in my last year and never had anyone else park in it. As for safety, I'm a young woman and I walked around outside at all hours. Never had any problems. I didn't even bother locking my door when I was just going to the restroom. As far as I know, nobody was robbed while I lived there. Some of the tenants hung out on the steps to smoke, which I guess could look scary to some people at night, but they were always polite. I only had a couple of small problems, which are normal in apartment buildings in my experience. The smoke alarms went off every few months, usually in the middle of the night. It usually took around half an hour to get them turned off, since the fire department had to come and confirm there wasn't a fire. The building's heat was set high, so I was sometimes too hot in winter and had to open the window. I also kept my own heater turned off a lot of the time, which saved electricity. When I lived on the first floor, anyone in the parking lot could see right in, so I kept the blinds closed most of the time. The first floor apartment also smelled a bit, though I probably should have aired it out more often. I would recommend living on a higher floor. There was some noise because the building was near the hospital and the train tracks. It didn't bother me but I'm good at tuning things out.

After I parked I could see a guy in a black "Easton Construction" truck yelling at me calling me a "effing a-hole" (actual words much worse) and saying I can't pull through because then I'm pointing the wrong way when I go to leave. I approached this individual to make sure he was talking to me. He was. I asked him what business it was of his how I was parked and that I had plenty of room to turn the truck in the right direction when I was going to leave (which I eventually did). I would not hire any company that would employ this guy (or worse, be run by this guy). They are obviously rude, entitled, a-holes themselves. I also informed him that I was at the Hy-Vee to pick up some food for my brother who has brain cancer.
