Performing Arts Venues? Hiking & Biking Trails? Yes to All!
A top reason why Waverly is one of the best small towns to live in is that it plays big when you want it to. We’re comfortable yet sophisticated, laid back but industrious. We love our families, jobs, great schools and community, yet we also like to pop over to nearby Cedar Falls or Waterloo occasionally for a big city experience.
Our housing market boasts a nice range of prices, styles and settings. Great neighborhoods abound, with employment, conveniences, schools and recreation just minutes from everywhere. But don’t take our word for it. Niche.com awarded Waverly, Iowa, with an overall grade of “A” for being one of the best places to live in Iowa.
