Places in Omaha That Can be Your Home

In our previous articles, we listed details about Omaha, a city in the middle of the United States. Here are some neighborhoods that tend to fit all budgets and lifestyles.

Aksarben

A curious fact about this place is that its name is Nebraska spelled backwards. Aksarben is a mix between natural and urban. It is a small village with all the comforts of the city, but further on, you will find the creek along with the Papio Trail, a path that runs through the city. 

In one part of Aksarben are the oldest houses in the community, with their cobbled walls and gambrel-style roofs. A delight for everyone's eyes. Not counting the pine trees that decorate in winter and keep the area cool in the intense summer.

Aksarben continues to expand its residential area and is a great place for contemporary adults.

Old Market

Beyond the tourist area, Old Market offers Bohemian city life with cobblestone streets and great restaurants. There are museums, walkways, and green areas. With a short walk, you can reach the Missouri River.

Old Market has residential areas, usually buildings, with a very industrial and urban style. Something highly coveted by young people. The best thing is that you can also enjoy the nightlife.

This is a great option for searching for apartments and condos, and convenient for those on business.

Dundee

Scenes from an 18th-century movie with a horseman riding could easily be filmed in Dundee. It has more than 300 old lampposts made of cast iron and is the area where Warren Buffett lives.

This area has a reputation as the most beautiful area in all of Omaha. It has a large park, various schools, including several Catholic ones, and very Bohemian shops. It also connects with the memorial park, from whose view it can resemble Montparnasse in Paris, France.

In Dundee, everything is close by. You can enjoy a good ice cream, a play, cultural diversity, live music, and more. It is a city of eternal youth.

It is also a fairly quiet area and there are always green areas to unwind with a great cup of tea in winter.

Papillion

Papillion wasn't always the big micro-city it is now, it started out as a small railway town in 1870. Today it's one of the cities where butterflies perch on every pole.

This small town does not belong to Douglas County, but to Sarpy County. However, it is annexed to the city of Omaha.

At Papillion you can find a variety of housing options, from small and large apartments to the house of your dreams with gardens and patios. It is a large city with various trails in Halleck Park. If you are someone who likes fishing and the countryside, this is a great place to live.

Elkhorn

A little west of downtown is this family-friendly neighborhood. Elkhorn is expanding with new construction of new residences. It is the perfect mix of being in contact with the countryside, but close to the city.

For those who love sunsets, Elkhorn’s topography makes for a dreamy view. Green fields traced by a road and a small lake on the horizon. It is an ideal place for families.
