North Liberty, IA Community Guide

Living in North Liberty

North Liberty sits between Iowa City and Cedar Rapids along Interstate 380, in Johnson County. Over the past two decades the city has been one of the fastest-growing in Iowa by percentage, expanding from a small town into a full-scale suburb with its own high school, a growing commercial district, and extensive new residential construction. North Liberty is served by the Iowa City Community School District and is home to Liberty High School. The city is close enough to both Iowa City and the University of Iowa to function as an Iowa City commuter market, and close enough to Cedar Rapids via I-380 to work as a dual-commute base.
