Downtown Cedar Rapids

downtown core · 52401

Downtown Cedar Rapids is the part of the city that decided, post-2008-flood, to rebuild as a place you might walk through after dark. NewBo and Czech Village do the weekend heavy lifting; the core along First Avenue handles the after-work shift, with the Paramount and the U.S. Cellular Center pulling whatever touring act the booker landed. The river is the organizing principle and the historic liability. Apartments above the storefronts have multiplied faster than the ground-floor tenants needed to justify them, which is good news if you want a one-bedroom and indifferent news if you want a crowd on a Tuesday.
