Omaha’s close proximity to Offutt makes it a logical location to settle down for military families. As personnel redeploy from the various conflicts around the world, they’ll need to make a lot of decisions abouut where to raise their families for the long haul. The Omaha area should definitely be considered.
The residents of Omaha do a nice job of blending city life with a casual country lifestyle. There’s a downhome feeling among the residents of Omaha, probably due to its roots in farming. The corn fields on the outskirts of town are not so distant that residents have forgotten their beginnings (or their manners).
With the countryside close at hand, one is never too far from the joys of spending time in the great outdoors. It is a short drive (in fact, a short walk, depending on where you choose to live) to the grand Missouri River, where you’ll find three seasons (at least) worth of fun. Boating on the river is a popular pastime, especially for those who like to go fishing for some bass every now and then. But water sports are also popular 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 many neighborhoods around 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.
