Errrr some wood floor planks from an old house? A cute door? Windows for your next decor project? Every. Thing. Possible. It made me wish I had an entire shop set up in my garage so I could buy all the cute things and figure out a way to use them later. The folks who work here are top notch, too. They greet you when you come in, ask if there's anything they can help you find, and check on you plenty to make sure you know they're there to help. Oh, also, bonus points for the punny signs throughout the store. Made my day!

Their treasures are well-organized, the staff is knowledgeable and the prices are fair. It is also fun to see the creations they have made while reusing old architectural items. I wanted to buy everything!!!!!

His response to that was "That's your problem." Yet another instance where business owners have forgotten that the public is who pays their wages. Be careful what you buy and walk out when the sales person is rude. Never again will I go there only to be treated like trash.

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.
