Mt Vernon Real Estate

Mount Vernon is a charming college town of about 4,500 residents located 15 miles east of Cedar Rapids along Highway 30. Home to Cornell College, a nationally recognized liberal arts institution, Mount Vernon has an engaged community with a vibrant downtown, local restaurants, and a strong arts presence. Cornell College is one of the town's largest employers.

The town offers a mix of historic homes, well-maintained older properties, and some newer construction. Mount Vernon consistently ranks among the best small towns in Iowa for quality of life. Residents enjoy a true small-town feel with the Cedar Rapids metro close enough for commuting, and major employers like Collins Aerospace, the regional healthcare systems, and the growing industrial base are all within a 20 to 25 minute drive.

Jay Whitaker is a Realtor at Skogman Realty serving Mount Vernon and the broader Eastern Iowa area. Reach out for straightforward guidance on buying or selling in Mount Vernon.
