What makes shopping so special in the Iowa City/Coralville area? It's the variety. Iowa City's downtown area offers a variety of quaint shops and boutiques. Malls on Iowa City's east side and to the west in Coralville offer a large number of choices--both local businesses and chain stores. Small towns, a short drive away, offer antique stores, craft shops, and even outlet malls to satisfy every type of shopper. Here are some examples:
