A community tied together by its people
Named for the historic elementary school that planted the seeds of its community, Taylor is a neighborhood literally founded by bringing people together. From families needing education to Eastern European immigrants to scores of residents displaced by floods, Taylor has established a reputation for welcoming outsiders and working together to achieve its goals. The result is a historic neighborhood tempered for the modern age, replete with a tightly knit population that has set the tone for its community since the 1800s.

A thorough mixture of the classic and the modern
Though new homes are developed regularly, the area is best known for its turn of 20th-century architecture, including centennial-aged Cape Cods, National, American Foursquare and Craftsman-style homes. Ubiquitous sidewalks cut through modest front yards, encouraging social openness between pedestrians and neighborhood porch sitters. Driveways are uncommon, meaning street parking is the norm in most sections of town. The area's older homes are in varied states of maintenance, though many of the most dilapidated were torn down during the flood of 2008. Historical houses needing considerable restoration start in the low $50,000s, while modest-sized buildings and fixer-uppers go in the mid-$100,000s. Fully restored or more modern homes make it into the mid-$200,000s.
Taylor's Foursquare homes stand out with their distinctive and iconic style.
The quaint appeal of Cape Cod-style homes adds timeless elegance to the Taylor neighborhood.

Upscale shopping at Czech Village
The historic Czech Village was once the commercial district of Cedar Rapid's Czech and Slovak immigrants. Located in the only "Little Bohemia" in the United States, the riverside plaza now serves as one of the most popular shopping zones in Cedar Rapids, including restaurants and retail stores that serve up hip, eclectic tastes and fashions. "At one point, over 40% of our population had either Czech or Slovak heritage," says Jim Miller, Executive Director of the District: Czech Village and New Bohemia. "We're Bohemian in every sense of the word. Historically and culturally." The family-owned Breakfast House Café has served locals in the early hours for 30 years, offering specialty omelets and hash brown skillets in a classic diner atmosphere. The Hy-Vee Grocery and Drug Store can be found in the southern section of the neighborhood.

Live music from acts like the Iowa Accordion Club and Czech Plus fills the air as folk dancing gives way to tournament games and a Kolache-eating contest. Dinner on the Bridge turns the 16th Avenue Bridge of Lions into an outdoor dining experience with local food and drink and a silent auction.
