Welcome to Omaha

Omaha is unique for being a big city that still retains its small-town charm
 
Once a gateway to the Western frontier, Omaha is the largest city in Nebraska and an excellent place for professionals, families, and retirees to call home. It is located on the Missouri River close to the Iowa border with Nebraska.
 
Omaha served as the easternmost point of the transcontinental railroad in the 1800s. Over the years, the city has earned a reputation as a flyover city due to its central location. It celebrates and treasures the past while embracing growth and change. A strong economy attracts young professionals, while a plethora of family-friendly activities and high-performing schools call to those with kids.
 
Omaha's real estate is always in demand, and properties don't stay on the market for long. Different communities and townships in the city offer many options for home buyers, so you are not short of choices whether you are looking for an investment property or to settle down. You'll have your pick of everything from luxury apartments and condos to townhomes, single-family homes, and multi-million-dollar mansions.
 

What to Love

  • A hip city that aims to embrace growth while maintaining its small-town charm
  • Big companies entice young professionals are full of ambition, energy, skill, and talent to the city
  • Thriving luxury real estate space
 

Local Lifestyle

Even with a population of nearly half a million, Omaha hasn't lost its Midwestern charm. Residents here never seem to be in much of a hurry — spending valuable time with family on weekends or lingering over conversations in coffee shops. It's one of the best cities to raise a family, thanks to its great schools, housing availability, and ease of commuting — you can get almost anywhere in the city within 15-20 minutes.
 
There is no shortage of things to do in Omaha. Whether it's engaging in a friendly competition of local trivia night, dancing along to live music at one of the entertainment venues, or tailgating for an upcoming sports event, there's always something to keep you entertained.
 
Omaha residents are amiable, and starting a conversation with the dog walker, your local grocer, or Uber driver is easy. Many of them are happy to make you feel at home and even provide any recommendations you might need.
 

Dining, Shopping, and Entertainment

Classic steakhouses are a traditional favorite in Omaha. One of the most popular is The Drover, a landmark chophouse specializing in steaks marinated in whiskey and grilled to order. But the food scene doesn't stop at what's been traditionally a favorite. If you love Mexican, give Mula a chance. Omaha is also no stranger to the farm-to-table movement, and restaurants like Block 16 and The Boiler Room strive to bring the flavors of Nebraska to your dining table.
 
Omaha's craft beer scene is impressive, with over a dozen breweries in the Metro area. Scriptown Brewery, Nebraska Brewing Company, and Pint Nine turn out amazing beer. Some breweries like Lucky Bucket offer tours of their operations.
 

Things to Do

Omaha is a sports event mecca and has been home to the College World Series for over 50 years. The June event brings together the country's final eight baseball teams for an 11-day tournament that attracts over 300,000 fans and millions of TV viewers. You can also cheer on the Creighton Bluejays at the CHI Health Center Arena or watch American swimmers compete for a spot on the US summer Olympics team at the US Swim Trials at the same venue.
 
Summer through fall is a great time to be in Omaha as the city hosts various festivals, including Taste of Omaha, Jazz on the Green, and Maha Festival. Designers travel from around the country in February to show off their best work during the Omaha Fashion Week, so make time to catch a fashion show.
 
Head to the Gene Leahy Mall at the Riverfront for a little outdoor fun with the family. The 10-acre park features paths, gardens, a playground, a waterfall, a lagoon, and an amphitheater.
 
The Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium offers 130 acres of indoor and outdoor attractions to explore.
