Housing
From a bustling downtown to quieter suburban life or still quieter country living, Omaha can provide just about any and all options. Mansions can be found in stately historic neighborhoods. The riverfront and north downtown areas offer the most up-to-date in urban living. The latest in home designs are combined with convenience in the numerous comfortable suburban neighborhoods. For the more rural at heart, Sarpy, Washington and western Douglas counties afford multiple acreage options within only minutes of the city. Just a short drive can turn the rush of the metro into the serenity of stables, ponds and natural woods.
Once settled into a location, pick a price and style as Omaha is sure to have one to fit any taste. From condos and apartments to starter and retirement homes, ranch-style, Tudor, contemporary, two-story, town homes, historic or modern, the options really could be endless. Historic neighborhoods like the Field Club, Gold Coast and Kountze Park to expansive developments in the west like Bellevue, Papillion and Gretna provide easy access to schools, shopping and recreation.
Revitalization is the biggest buzzword around Omaha and these initiatives stem from the deep pride the residents take in maintaining their neighborhoods. Destination Midtown is focused on progressive urban living by revitalizing an area that is home to two Fortune 500 companies, 30 historic landmarks, 22 churches, 16 schools and seven parks. Other projects include areas just north of downtown, northern Omaha, and south Omaha.
