Top 5 things I love about Waverly

Random thought, Household incomes average around $75,868 in Waverly. Rent is about $1,125/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 6.9%, which is pretty low. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Low taxes
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good internet infrastructure
- Active local events

Cons:
- Hot summers
- Limited cultural events
- Homelessness issues downtown

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it was the best decision I ever made. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

As someone who grew up here, I genuinely enjoy living here. A lot has changed in the past few years though. cultural scene used to be much established but now it's underrated.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 years ago from Raleigh and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Cedar Grove. It's average for what you get.

Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in finance. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.

People: Generally excellent. It took about 15 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: improving. Tons of options if you like Vietnamese.

Definitely worth checking out..
