Sold: 2144 14th St, Coralville, IA 52241

Thanks Sharon. I listed a house in Iowa City on Friday last week that got an offer on Monday. I'm kind of hoping to replicate that. :-) To answer your question, a zero lot is pretty much what is called a duplex everywhere else. I don't really know why they call it a zero lot in Iowa. I can tell you that 2144 14th St shares a wall with their neighbors. They also obviously share a roof line and property line. Other than that the property has the same rights and priveleges as a single family home. (No fees, no home owners association or anything like that).

Iowa City is a relocation destination. I can't tell you how often I get asked this question by folks moving here. I'm beginning to think Iowa truly is the only state in the US that uses the term zero lot!
