North Liberty, Iowa
Population: 5,367
Located in Johnson County
A positive population is verifiable proof the budding North Liberty community is a place that makes it “easy” to grow. This community near Coralville Lake has exploded in population from 800 in the 1960s to more than 2,000 in the 1980s. Fast-track development can cause growing pains. But fortunately North Liberty, located in the heart of the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Technology Corridor™, has a plan in place to encourage strategic growth. As a result, this former “bedroom” community is growing from the inside out — in every direction. Last year, more than 600 new homes were added to the city’s housing inventory, from detached single-family homes to zero-lot duplexes and condominiums. As a result, new neighborhoods have popped up all over the city: Deerfield, Fox Run, Liberty’s Gate, Broadmoor, Cedar Springs, Penn Heights, Quail Ridge, Harvest Estates, Creekside and Windsor. Assistance from area development groups — Iowa City Area Development Group, Priority One and the Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce — helps the city actively attract business and industry. From advanced manufacturing to healthcare and home-based businesses, North Liberty now has nearly 300 businesses and retail shops. And, because of its prime location near Interstates 80 and 380, that number continues to grow! The city’s proximity to the metro areas of Iowa City and Cedar Rapids offers area residents endless artistic and cultural activities for children and adults. The city’s annual North Liberty Fun Days provides an occasion to celebrate with a host of activities for the whole family. North Liberty is also the gateway to area recreation! Nearby Coralville Lake offers a wonderland of outdoor opportunities, including boating, fishing (reportedly some of the best in the state), hiking and off-road biking. The U.S. Corps of Engineers maintains this recreational haven, with its 5,430-acre reservoir and more than 25,000 acres of timber and undeveloped areas.
