Welcome is Our Language

When my husband and I decided to leave Chicago in 2018, we could have moved anywhere in the world... and we chose Cedar Rapids. We could not be happier with our decision.

Key factors for us choosing Cedar Rapids included affordable historic neighborhoods, charming shopping districts with locally owned unique shops and cafes, minimal commute times to anywhere in the city, serene parks and green spaces, safe and well-designed trails/bike paths, a local food co-op, and a nearby airport.

Delightful surprises upon exploring Cedar Rapids include a thriving dining scene, numerous amazing pizza places (some of the best pizza we've ever tasted!), several local breweries, booming performing and visual arts scene, and a progressive empathetic community.

Cedar Rapids truly is a welcoming and special place to call home.
