About South Waverly

South Waverly sits right along the Pennsylvania-New York border, tucked into the scenic Penn-York Valley next to the Chemung River. It is a quiet, close-knit residential borough with quick access to both Interstate 86 and Route 220, making daily commutes and regional travel easy. Because the town grew directly alongside neighboring Waverly, New York, residents enjoy a welcoming neighborhood feel paired with deep cross-border roots.

Living here gives you a peaceful home base with all the perks of the surrounding Valley. South Waverly blends seamlessly into Sayre, Athens, and Waverly, so running errands, dining out, and heading to work naturally takes you back and forth across the state line. You get the relaxed pace of a small Pennsylvania borough, along with scenic riverside views and easy access to everything the broader community has to offer.
