Waverly Township, PA Homes for Rent

Waverly Township has quiet living and community in the hills of Lackawanna County. Just about 9 miles outside Scranton, Waverly thrived off industry and agriculture through the 1800s and early 1900s and was a popular summer home location for wealthy Scrantonites. It even served as a stop on the Underground Railroad. Today, this peaceful community has thoughtfully preserved its history and attracted new residents seeking highly rated schools, secluded properties and an established community. “It’s very generational, but in a good, preserving way,” says Maggie Farley, real estate agent at Bluestone Realty Group and Waverly resident for 14 years. “People move away and come back when they decide to have kids. They want to raise their kids how they were raised.” Many homes in Waverly sit on several acres of land or are surrounded by woods. “There are so many things that have been preserved, and there are beautiful blue stone retaining walls throughout,” Farley says. “The last thing you can describe it as is cookie-cutter." Victorian and traditional styles from the 1800s are common, and homes built throughout the 20th century include ranch-style houses and spacious custom builds.
