Mound View delivers a walkable, tree-lined pocket of classic architecture and everyday convenience just north of downtown Cedar Rapids. The neighborhood benefits from a strong academic presence, with nearby Coe College and Mount Mercy University drawing lectures, performances, and lifelong-learning opportunities to the area. Outdoor time comes easy, too: residents hop onto the city’s Cedar River Trail at Cedar Lake for cycling and jogs, and gather at Daniels Park’s green space and playgrounds for laid-back weekends.
Families appreciate access to the Cedar Rapids Community School District, with college- and career-minded pathways at Washington High School that include AP coursework and robust arts and activities. The Cedar Rapids Public Library’s downtown campus is a short drive for story times, maker programming, and community events, and Brucemore’s historic estate offers concerts and cultural experiences that feel like a bonus backyard. Everyday needs are met along 1st Avenue NE, while the neighborhood’s central location makes quick work of commutes across Linn County or visits to adjacent areas like Wellington Heights.
Whether you’re drawn by the front-porch lifestyle, proximity to schools and campuses, or simple convenience, Mound View rewards with a balanced, connected feel.
