About Waterloo

Tucked along the Elkhorn River on the western edge of the Omaha metro area, Waterloo combines small-town peace with an easy commute to the city. The village originally grew around the railroad and local agriculture, and that historic, close-knit character is still easy to see along its cozy main street. It is a quiet community for anyone looking for friendly neighbors, scenic river views, and a relaxed pace within reach of big-city conveniences.
