Make Yourself at Home

Urbana is a vibrant community with numerous amenities. The strongest is its diverse neighborhoods ... and with residential construction so strong, you'll discover the tax rebate program is a great tool to take advantage of low interest rates.

Just take a look at some of the new construction by local builders. Started in 2001, the Build Urbana Home Parade began to showcase its new homes with a parade during the month of June. Since the inception of the Build Urbana Program, over 300 new homes have been constructed.

After you're all settled in, what's next? There are many great opportunities to be involved in the community: The Urbana Free Library, internships at the local business association, events such as the Sweetcorn Festival, IHSA State Football Championships, Magic on Main Street, International Beer Tasting & Chili Cook-off Championship, Urbana Park District, The C-U Duck Race, Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center, or visit cuvolunteer.org to search out your favorite non-profit organization. Whatever your passion, we can oblige.
