Stretched along the banks of the Cedar River, about 100 miles northeast of Des Moines, Cedar Rapids is the second largest city in Iowa and the largest corn-processing city in the world. Nicknamed the City of Five Seasons, Cedar Rapids residents take time to appreciate everyday beauty, resulting in an intangible fifth season dedicated to enjoying life.
Cedar Rapids has all the amenities of a larger city without the hassle. Renting in Cedar Rapids affords you the opportunity to visit a host of diverse museums such as the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, the African American Museum of Iowa, and the National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library. You can also watch a play at Paramount Theater, walk the trails along the Cedar River, tour the historic Brucemore, take the kids to the petting zoo at Bever Park, see the Kernels play ball at the Veterans Memorial Stadium, attend the Maple Syrup Festival at Indian Creek Nature Center, and have a tasty meal at NewBo City Market.
