Brown Deer Place

This is Senior Living, Only Better.

Close to the University, Closer to Home

Nestled in the heart of Coralville, Brown Deer Place is anything but ordinary. It’s alive with the spirit and stories of residents and team members who bring passion, humor, and warmth to every corner of our home.

Here, every day feels like catching up with old friends. From music nights and themed dinners to art classes and impromptu dance parties, our calendar is full, and so are our hearts. Laughter fills the halls, ideas spark everywhere, and life pulses with energy, purpose, and connection.

What truly sets Brown Deer Place apart is the people who call it home. Residents play an active role in shaping community life, whether welcoming new neighbors, sharing their experiences during community tours, or serving as ambassadors who help others feel at home. Their involvement helps create an atmosphere where meaningful relationships flourish, and newcomers quickly feel included.

Brown Deer Place is more than Coralville senior living. It’s a community built on love and laughter, and it’s waiting for you.

This is senior living, only better.
