Considerations when choosing a Cedar Rapids moving company

Moving to Cedar Rapids doesn't have to be a stressful experience. Before starting your search, make sure you've gone through the following:

  1. Must-haves, and what you'll be willing to compromise on. You may need to give up certain amenities to live in your favorite neighborhood, or otherwise look for a smaller layout or a different apartment type.

  2. Your search horizon. The ideal time to start searching is between 1-2 months before your planned move-in date. However, don't be stressed if you only have a couple weeks to go; a surpising amount of rental inventory is usually available for immediate move-in.

  3. Your favorite neighborhoods. We've put together a curated list below of some of the more popular areas to get you started on where to live - whether you're moving by yourself or with a family, looking for a residential area or one in the middle of the action.

  4. Documents you'll need when applying for an apartment. These will vary depending on the landlord, but most require verification of employment and income, your credit report, and references from previous landlords.

  5. Whether you'd like to live alone or with roommates. Roommates can mean considerable cost savings upwards of 50%-60% depending on the amount of people

Tips for moving to or within Cedar Rapids

Facts about Cedar Rapids

With shorter commutes than other large cities, Cedar Rapids proudly boasts of the enjoyable lifestyle its population is afforded with its famous motto, "The City of Five Seasons.” The fifth season is, of course, the time to appreciate the other four. Like Paris's Ile de la Cite, Cedar Rapids is one of the few places in the world where the government’s offices are built mid-stream on a municipal island. Stretching suburbs set amid the great American prairie provide the local community long-standing links with the natural environment. The Indian Creek Nature Center preserves and protects natural wildlife and plant habitats, giving visitors a chance to learn more about the surrounding environments that inspired the famous painting “American Gothic” by artist Grant Wood. One-time home to Orville and Wilbur Wright, the fathers of modern flight, it is said that Cedar Rapids is a place where the imagination soars.

Ranked as the top city to live in Iowa and earning a spot in the Top 30 across the United States, according to Livability.com, "The City of Five Seasons" hosts not only an array of farmers markets selling local produce but is surrounded by three vineyards and wineries.
