One of my friend wants to know about this place. Is it a worth place for staying? What about employment opportunities? Also what is a cost of appartment if she want on rent? What should be the minimum cost of living?
Please tell me about cedar rapid please? Is it a good place to stay in? What about weather and employment ?
We moved from the NY Metro area after 49 years to Cedar Rapids in 2001, three months before 9/11.
Housing here is much more affordable than NJ, which will come as no surprise. Our home would cost at least twice the price in NJ and the property taxes here are very reasonable.
There are several large corporations here with good paying jobs, among them Rockwell Collins, Aegon, Toyota Financial.
While people out here think 5 minutes is a long time in traffic, there is no great commuting problem. We are served by Eastern Iowa airport, which has direct service to 12 cities, including Chicago, Atlanta, Denver and Orlando.
The University of Iowa is located about 20 minutes away in Iowa City.
There are two major hospitals in our city, while the University Hospitals are located in Iowa City.
The weather in the winter can be very cold with nighttime temperatures below 0 F many nights. In the summer it can be hot, but not many days above 95 F.
We are about 4-5 drive away from Chicago, Twin Cities, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Kansas City.
The air is very clean and the neighbors are great citizens. Locally there is not a great deal of diversity, either good or bad depending on your point of view.
We like it here and you would too!

Reply:The only Cedar Rapids I know is in Iowa, not in Australia or New Zealand. You seem to be geographically embarassed. You have to turn left at Albuquerque
