Why Bertram homes need a local read.
Bertram is a small 1858 rail-side Cedar Rapids bedroom community of older homes.
Bertram housing runs to older homes dating from the 1858 layout and the 1859 arrival of the railroad, in a small and slightly shrinking stock, across the small original plat along the rail line and the surrounding Linn County ground, on Iowan Surface ground on the southeast side of Cedar Rapids, gently rolling with long slopes.
