Union rewards residents with small-town ease and quick access to big outdoor experiences along the Iowa River Greenbelt. Tucked in Hardin County, it sits a short drive from the county seat in Eldora and regional amenities in Marshalltown and Iowa Falls. Weekends often lead to wooded trails, paddling, and lake views at the nearby Pine Lake State Park, while prairies, river overlooks, and seasonal wildlife are spotlighted by Hardin County Conservation sites throughout the Greenbelt.
Families appreciate that the BCLUW Community School District serves Union, with a supportive, close-knit atmosphere and opportunities in athletics, arts, and STEM. Community pride runs through school events and local traditions, and each summer’s Hardin County Fair in Eldora brings 4-H showcases, live entertainment, and friendly competition that draw neighbors together across generations.
Housing options range from classic homes on quiet streets to acreage just outside town, and everyday errands are simple thanks to Union’s compact layout. Commuters value efficient routes to jobs and services in nearby hubs, yet the pace remains relaxed enough for evening walks, backyard gatherings, and starry skies.
Whether you’re considering a first home, seeking more space, or preparing to list, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a trusted local real estate agent who knows Union well and can guide you through a smooth purchase or sale.
