Nature enthusiasts find outdoor treasures, like the expansive Farnsworth Prairie Trail, perfect for hikers and bikers, while the winter months bring cross-country skiing and ice skating opportunities. Waterville boasts a strong sense of community, particularly evident in its excellent schools. The Anthony Wayne Local Schools consistently rank among the top in the state. Waterville's architectural landscape reflects its rich history. Quaint, well-maintained homes in various styles, from Victorian mansions and ranch-style bungalows to modern farmhouses.

Large historic homes downtown and vinyl and brick ranch-style elsewhere

Large historic homes downtown and vinyl and brick ranch-style elsewhere Victorian homes, adorned with gingerbread trim and wraparound porches, line the leafy streets, their colorful hues peeking from beneath towering trees. These grand dames, some dating back to the 1800s, stand shoulder-to-shoulder with charming cottages and stately brick Colonials. But Waterville isn't stuck in the past. Modern marvels mingle with the classics, with sleek contemporary houses boasting clean lines, expansive windows, and pops of vibrant color. These architectural gems often feature elevated flower boxes, adding a touch of whimsy and greenery to the streetscape, where a symphony of tree-lined lanes, gently curving and adorned with manicured lawns and picket fences. The price range of houses fluctuates between about $230,000 to the nearly $700,000.

Finally, Anthony Wayne High School caps the district with an A-minus with recognition for its college-prep focus and arts scene, from theater to jazz band.
