Waverly is a small unincorporated community in the citrus country of central Polk County, where the pace is quiet and the housing is straightforward — almost entirely single-family homes on real lots. You're close enough to reach Walt Disney World in about 56 minutes and Orlando International Airport in roughly 68, but far enough out to trade theme-park traffic for open space and lower prices.
The market here is tiny and moves fast: just 3 active listings right now, with a median list price of $210,000 and homes going pending in a median of 2 days. With so little inventory, it pays to watch just reduced listings and browse by price so you can move the moment the right house hits.
Waverly is in Polk County, Florida.

Straight answers
Waverly real estate FAQs
Is Waverly a good place to live?+
Waverly suits buyers who want a quiet, small-town corner of Polk County with room to breathe. Housing is almost entirely single-family, and you're within about an hour of Orlando's airport and theme parks when you need them. It's rural and low-key rather than amenity-packed, so it fits people who value space and value over walkability.
Is Waverly expensive?+
No — it's one of the more affordable pockets in the area, with a median list price of $210,000 and an average of about $139 per square foot. Current listings range from $75,000 to $228,000, so there's genuine entry-level opportunity here compared with the Orlando corridor.
What do homes cost in Waverly?+
The median list price is $210,000 on a median home size of around 1,258 square feet, or about $139 per square foot. Over the last 12 months the one recorded sale closed at $230,000, so you can browse by price to see where current inventory falls.
How is the Waverly housing market?+
It's small and fast. There are only 3 active listings, and the median days on market is just 2, with sellers getting about 97% of asking on average — so well-priced homes don't sit. Keep an eye on open houses this week because inventory turns over quickly.
What about HOA fees and property taxes in Waverly?+
There's no HOA fee recorded on the current active listings, which are all standalone single-family homes. Property taxes are modest, with a median of about $1,621 per year, keeping your monthly costs lower than in many gated Orlando-area communities.
