About Franklin
Gateway
Franklin Gateway, located between Franklin Street and the Cedar River, is a residential and commercial Waterloo neighborhood with a river-edge setting and a grid of older streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Franklin Street near the river crossings, where small storefronts, service counters, and everyday errands set a steady street rhythm. Housing reads as modest Midwestern stock—compact single-family homes and small multifamily buildings—mixed with light commercial corridors. The Cedar River and nearby trails shape the pace, with green space and water views framing walks and bike rides. Cultural anchors nearby include the Waterloo Center for the Arts, the Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum, and the Grout Museum District.
