South Waverly, PA

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.
