City of North Liberty
In the heart of the Iowa City-Cedar Rapids, North Liberty is a thriving, young community; a family-friendly small town but with easy access to big-city amenities. We work, at the headquarters of local media, regional financial and national transportation companies or with solar energy and tech startups and entrepreneurs getting their big ideas off the ground. North Liberty is a place where we play, as home to sweeping sunsets over backyards and open fields, ice cream on the way home from baseball after school, miles of trails and acres of parks. We grow, with new schools and new residents, with rain gardens and heart, and from toddlers to teenagers. And we kid, with great schools, recreation and library programs and with each other at work, school and on the local restaurant patio. North Liberty is home to neighbors you know and people you love, and a place near Hawkeye sports, world-class healthcare, performing arts and shopping in Iowa City and Cedar Rapids.
