Welcome Home Waverly Live Here - Welcome Home Waverly

Performing Arts Venues? Hiking & Biking Trails? Yes to All!

A top reason why Waverly is one of the best small cities 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 and our jobs, our great schools and our community, yet we also like to pop over to nearby Cedar Falls or Waterloo to get our bigger city on.

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. We’re also one of the great places to visit in Iowa. Plan on seeing what we have to offer but bring extra clothes: Once you find yourself here, you may just want to stay.

Diversity
Celebrating Diversity in the Cedar Valley originated from a community strategic planning initiative of the Waverly City Council. City leaders and community members came together to chart a course for the future and celebrating diversity was one of the priorities identified. The Embrace group has enhanced Waverly's diversity and inclusion focus by hosting community events and providing education and awareness opportunities aimed at celebrating and welcoming diversity and inclusion in Waverly and the Cedar Valley.
