Shimek, located between Highway 6 and the Iowa River, is a residential and park-adjacent Iowa City neighborhood with wooded trails and a low-rise, campus-edge feel. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Dubuque Street and Park Road corridor, where trailheads, local eateries, and everyday errands cluster in a compact strip. Housing leans toward mid-century ranches, split-levels, and smaller apartment buildings set along curving streets and mature trees. Hickory Hill Park frames the area with shaded paths and prairie edges. The Iowa River Corridor Trail adds a steady rhythm of walkers and cyclists. Nearby, The Mill and Big Grove Brewery act as familiar gathering spots for music, food, and conversation.

RS5
Low Density Single-Family Residential Zone
The low density single-family residential zone RS-5 is primarily intended to provide housing opportunities for individual households. The regulations are intended to create, maintain, and promote livable neighborhoods. The regulations allow for some flexibility of dwelling types to provide housing opportunities for a variety of household types. This zone also allows for some nonresidential uses that contribute to the livability of residential neighborhoods, such as parks, schools, religious institutions, and daycare facilities. Related nonresidential uses and structures should be planned and designed to be compatible with the character, scale, and pattern of the residential development.
