What to expect from housing and prices in Waverly Place
Craftsman bungalows, Victorian-style homes and Colonial Revival properties are found across Waverly Terrace, which occupies a grid of streets just east of Veterans Parkways. Many residences were built in the early 1900s, with ranch-style homes joining the mix in the 1930s.

"These are older homes that are really being updated, remodeled and expanded," he says. Prices range between the low to upper $100,000s.

These resources include links to grant applications for historic home renovation and tax information. When residents want to renovate, they must apply for a Certificate of Appropriateness to ensure the protection of the home’s character.
