High Amana blends handcrafted tradition with easy living as one of the seven historic villages that make up the Amana Colonies. Stone homes, tidy gardens, and working craft shops shape the streetscape, while commutes to employment centers like Cedar Rapids and Iowa City are convenient. Set within Iowa County, the community’s calendar revolves around seasonal festivals and heritage events; the Amana Colonies visitor site is a go-to for happenings, and the Amana Heritage Society preserves local history through museums including the High Amana General Store.
Recreation is close to home. Tee off at the Amana Colonies Golf Club, or trade fairways for trails and paddling at Lake Macbride State Park. Families appreciate the Clear Creek Amana Community School District for strong academics, STEM offerings, and active arts and athletics. Higher education access is excellent: the University of Iowa anchors a major health and research hub, and Kirkwood Community College delivers career programs and transfer pathways. Daily life still features Amana-made furniture, textiles, and foods from nearby shops, while housing ranges from meticulously maintained century homes to newer builds on surrounding acreage.
