About Washburn

Sitting just a few minutes south of Waterloo along Highway 218, Washburn offers a quiet, laid-back setting right on the edge of the Cedar Valley. Home to fewer than 900 residents, it has the feel of a peaceful pocket with quiet residential streets and extra breathing room. The short drive into Waterloo makes it easy to enjoy a small-town lifestyle while staying close to regional jobs, dining, and shopping.

Families in the community are part of the Waterloo Community School District, with kids attending Orange Elementary, Hoover Middle, and Waterloo West High School. Black Hawk County oversees local services and utilities, keeping everyday infrastructure simple and well-maintained. It makes for an appealing, easygoing spot for anyone looking for comfortable, low-key living close to the Waterloo and Cedar Falls area.
