Located in the Cedar Valley region of northeastern Iowa, Waterloo is a charming mid-sized city spread across the banks of the Cedar River. Residents enjoy a broad range of affordable apartments and condos available for rent in a laidback locale engulfed in lush, natural beauty.
Waterloo touts a diverse, close-knit community, coming together for a bevy of annual events like My Waterloo Days, National Cattle Congress, Iowa’s Irish Fest, and Cedar Valley Pride Fest. Waterloo boasts plenty of excellent opportunities for outdoor recreation at George Wyth State Park, Hartman Reserve, Hope Martin Memorial Park, and numerous golf courses. Waterloo is also home to one of the best water parks in the country, Lost Island, which draws residents and visitors alike.
