Omaha, NE Homes
The largest city in the state of Nebraska, Omaha is a far cry from the sleepy Midwest town that many envision. From the bustling modern riverfront (featuring sky rise condos overlooking the lights of the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge) to the quaint shops and cobblestone streets of the Old Market, to the dozens of golf courses, five area lakes and two rivers, Omaha is packed with enough entertainment options to keep anyone, of any age, looking forward to the next adventure. For example, after enjoying a world famous Omaha steak, you may want to walk over and watch the dancing lights of the fountain at Heartland of America Park, catch a Smithsonian exhibit at the Durham Museum, or take in the ever-changing landscape of Lauritzen Gardens’ 100 acres.
A warm and extremely family-oriented city, Omaha takes child’s play to the penthouse level. Family fun options range from a day spent at the Henry Doorly Zoo – one of the top rated zoos in the country (featuring the world’s largest indoor rainforest and indoor desert biosphere), to enjoying Nebraska’s largest art museum, The Joslyn Museum and its kid-friendly Sculpture Garden, to the wet and wonderful CoCo Key Water Resort – a 60,000-square-foot indoor water park.
Four Fortune 500 Companies – Berkshire Hathaway, Union Pacific Railroad, Peter Kiewit & Sons Inc., and Mutual of Omaha – headquarter in Omaha, and the city consistently ranks among the nation’s 50 largest cities in terms of per-capita billionaires. As such, it’s no surprise that the city also features world-class live entertainment options.
Top performers journey from around the globe to perform at the celebrated CHI Health Center and Arena, the historically opulent Orpheum Theater and the Holland Performing Arts Center, widely considered one of the best sounding concert halls in the country. A well-known hub for the indie rock scene, Omaha is also home to the largest community theater in the country and an impressive live children’s theater. Omaha’s TD Ameritrade stadium plays host to the NCAA Men’s College World Series each June, adding to a packed summer schedule downtown that includes the Summer Arts Festival.
Residents of Omaha enjoy all of this, along with bountiful real estate for sale, a low cost of living, low unemployment rates, top-rated schools, universities and medical care. “O” why would you live anywhere else? Check out all that Omaha has to offer. The real estate market is hot and properties are available for any budget!
