About Brooklyn

Sitting just north of Interstate 80, Brooklyn offers a quiet, friendly small-town setting with an easy commute to larger hubs like Iowa City and Des Moines. Known locally as the "Community of Flags," the town takes pride in a downtown lined with state and military banners. Families are served by the BGM School District, which gathers pre-K through 12th grade students onto a single shared campus in town. It is a classic central Iowa community where neighbors know each other and daily life moves at an unhurried pace.
