Noelridge Park Homes for Rent

Noelridge Park in Cedar Rapids emerged post-World War II, originally designed to provide a secure and comfortable environment for returning soldiers. The area is known for its quiet ambiance and natural beauty, centered around the 100-acre Noelridge Park. The park features playgrounds, greenhouses, an aquatic center and a paved trail that showcases flower gardens and a fishing pond. The neighborhood's homes are predominantly midcentury ranch-style, with some Cape Cod and split-level houses. Newer developments add to the architectural diversity. Kennedy High School, recognized as one of Iowa's top 10 college prep public schools, serves the area. Noelridge Park offers convenient access to major employers, shopping centers and community events. The neighborhood is bordered by Iowa Highway 100, providing a direct route to downtown Cedar Rapids, 4 miles south, and the Mercy Hiawatha Medical Park, less than 3 miles northwest. Public transportation is available through Cedar Rapids Transit. Local attractions include the Kool Moo ice cream shop and the Pedalers Fork tavern. The community enjoys a variety of events, such as a weekly farmer's market and the Jazz Under the Stars concert series. While Cedar Rapids has experienced significant flooding, the city has implemented interim flood management measures and is working on a permanent solution.
