Omaha’s close proximity to Offutt AFB in Bellevue makes it a wonderful hometown to settle down for military families. As personnel redeploy from various conflicts abroad, they’ll have to make a lot of decisions abouut where to move a family for the long term. The Omaha area should definitely be considered.
Omaha does a great job of mixing city life with the more relaxed rural lifestyle. There’s a hometown feeling among the people who live in Omaha, probably because of its roots in the farm culture. The corn fields on the outskirts of town are not so distant that the people have forgotten their beginnings (or their manners).
With rural lifestyles so close at hand, one is never too far from the joys of spending time outdoors with the family. It is a short drive (in fact, a short walk, depending on where you call your home) to the awesome Missouri River, where you’ll find three seasons (at least) worth of fun. Boating on the river is popular, especially for guys (and gals) who like to cast the line in for some smallmouth every now and then. But water sports like personal watercraft are also a big hit on the river, and you’ll find water skiers out all summer long.
If you’re a military family, you probably already know that Bellevue is the home of the base. But there are other tracts in town that are near to Offutt, and they are good choices for school districts as well as homes.
If you’re looking for Omaha real estate, it’s a good idea to check out Bellevue homes as well, of course. But also take a look at Papillion-La Vista, a community on the southeast side of Omaha. You can find a list of some of the more popular Omaha neighborhoods here.
