The residents of the City of Five Seasons enjoy a sense of
security, a sense of hope and a sense of belonging. Cedar Rapids is the
manufacturing capitol of Iowa and the state's second largest city. Cedar
Rapids is a regional hub for Eastern Iowa because of its direct access to
cities in the Midwest, including Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis and more. Cedar
Rapids is large enough to offer all the amenities of life and far enough away
from the hubbub of metropolitan life to still have small-town charm. Come
experience the City of Five Seasons.
