Tiffin, IA

Tiffin is a fast-growing small town just west of Coralville and Iowa City, making it a favorite spot for commuters and families looking for a quiet neighborhood close to the action. Even with steady residential growth in recent years, the community holds onto a laid-back, friendly atmosphere. It is especially appealing for families thanks to the Clear Creek-Amana schools, which keep the local elementary, middle, and high schools conveniently clustered right in town.
