About
Cityview
Cityview, located between Downtown Waterloo and Cedar Falls, is a residential and civic Waterloo neighborhood with bluff-top streets and broad views toward the Cedar River corridor. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum campus, where museum-going, campus walks, and event nights set the pace. Mid-century ranches and tidy postwar blocks mix with newer infill, giving the streetscape a practical, lived-in feel. The Cedar Valley SportsPlex adds a steady rhythm of practices and tournaments. Nearby, the Waterloo Center for the Arts and the Grout Museum District anchor culture with galleries and local history. Sidewalks and green edges connect daily routines to riverfront trails and downtown blocks.
