About Urbana

Urbana sits right along Interstate 380, roughly halfway between Cedar Rapids and Waterloo. With around 1,500 residents, it offers a quiet, relaxed atmosphere while giving commuters a straightforward drive to either metro area. Daily life revolves around peaceful neighborhood streets, open country views, and direct access to the Cedar Valley Nature Trail, which runs right through town for walking and biking.

The town shares a close bond and a school district with neighboring Center Point. Urbana hosts the intermediate school right on Main Street, while the remaining campuses are just a quick drive away. For newcomers, it offers a welcoming, small-town setting where you have plenty of room to breathe alongside an easy commute to regional jobs and entertainment.
