About Keystone
Keystone is a quiet, close-knit town of roughly 600 residents in east-central Iowa's Benton County. Located about forty minutes west of Cedar Rapids, it offers a relaxed rural setting while keeping daily conveniences within reach. Originally established as a railroad stop in the 1880s, the town today is defined by its quiet residential streets, friendly neighbors, and classic Midwestern pace.
Families are served by the Benton Community School District, which brings together students from across the surrounding area. The community also maintains strong ties to its German heritage, celebrated each summer during local events hosted by the historic Keystone Turners.
