This is North Iowa

This is your Life

Living in North Iowa means strolling through Clear Lake Farmer’s Market on a sunny Saturday morning. It means catching a Broadway show at the NIACC Performing Arts Center or snagging tickets to the next up-and-coming music star passing through the nationally renowned Surf Ballroom. It means visiting a new exhibit at one of the museums or galleries in Mason City and Clear Lake.

North Iowa is boating, fishing, and all-seasons fun on beautiful Clear Lake. It’s hitting the trails for walking, running, or biking as part of the passionate local bicycling culture. It’s the live music that pours out into the streets. It’s finding the perfect farm-to-table restaurant for a special occasion… or just another Thursday out with family and friends.

Your best life is within reach with low cost of living, top-tier schools, and vibrant local culture. Come find the kind of life that’s possible when you’re living in the middle of everywhere!
