Hills places small-town ease within minutes of big-university energy. Just south of Iowa City and an easy hop to Cedar Rapids, it offers quick commutes, open skies, and a welcoming pace that appeals to first-time buyers and longtime residents alike. Sidewalk-lined streets and friendly blocks give way to fields and river bottoms, so you can grab coffee and be on a gravel road or trail in the time it takes to cue up a playlist.
Outdoor time comes naturally here. The Iowa River’s Hills Access is a favorite launch for paddling, fishing, and sunset watching, while the Hoover Nature Trail threads through the area for easy bike rides and stroller walks. City services and community updates are straightforward and responsive through the City of Hills website, and county parks, conservation programs, and events are at your fingertips with nearby Johnson County resources.
Families appreciate access to the Iowa City Community School District, with a range of academic, arts, and athletics options across the district. Healthcare needs are covered by world-class specialists at University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics, only a short drive away. Housing choices span classic ranches, updated farmhouses, and new construction, with room to garden, tinker, or simply enjoy a bigger backyard.
