About Downey

Downey is a quiet, close-knit rural community in Cedar County with just over 100 residents. Established in the 1850s along the historic Rock Island Railroad, the area offers peaceful country living surrounded by eastern Iowa farmland. It feels secluded and slow-paced, yet its convenient location near Interstate 80 puts the shops, dining, and employers of nearby Iowa City and West Branch within an easy drive.
