This beautiful community is located in Southeast Benton County, just 10 miles to Cedar Rapids and 10 miles to the Amana's. Walford has a broad local business base, and an excellent quality of life. A local bank, trucking firm, gas station, tavern/restaurant, grain elevator, warehouse for business storage, highway equipment company and ballroom are many of the businesses that call Walford home.

Growth is undeniably a part of the future for Walford. Every year at least 50 new homes are built, a trend that is expected to continue for a long time! Housing in Walford is affordable as a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom, split level home with over 1,900 square feet of space is only in the range of $63,000. If older homes are more your style, try a home built in the late 1800's, on an acre of land for only $78,000. Other land is available for residential or commercial proving Walford to be an excellent choice for relocating a family or business.

With four distinct seasons, and the wide-open spaces for which Iowa is justly famous, there is always something to be done that's fun! Whether it is golf, or cheese tasting, or shopping in one of the new shopping malls that have been developed, Walford has it all. Cool nights, plenty of snow and constant change are things you can pretty much count on from Central Iowa's weather. The fall colors are known worldwide, but other seasons are just as beautiful. A fresh snowfall serenely blankets the ground while leaving tufts like cotton on tree branches. Spring brings a mix of brown and green in every shade and hue as leaves are rejuvenated.

These statistics make Walford a great place to live and do business. Take a closer look at one of Benton County and Iowa's fastest growing communities!
