Relocating to Omaha? Here’s Why You May Love It Here

Relocating to Omaha? Here’s Why You May Love It Here

I Know Relocation Because I’ve Done It 

I relocated here from Richmond, Virginia in 2005 after living coast to coast, packed up my family, moved with a 14-month-old, and started figuring out an entirely new city from scratch....and I’m still here.

I remember what it feels like to move somewhere and not know which side of town makes sense, how long a commute really takes, where you’ll shop, where you’ll eat, or whether the neighborhood that looks perfect online actually fits the way you live.

That experience is a big part of how I work with relocation clients today. UNLIKE my REALTOR at the time... I help YOU AND YOUR FAMILY figure out Omaha—the neighborhoods, the housing styles, the commute, the lifestyle, and all those little things you don’t know to ask until you’ve already moved.

Why People Love Living in Omaha

You get major-city amenities, great food, strong neighborhoods, an easy commute, and a housing market where your money can still do something.

1. It’s easy to get around.
Omaha is big enough to have plenty to do without spending half your life sitting in traffic.

2. The housing options are all over the board — in a good way.
Historic homes, mid-century ranches, downtown condos, new construction, suburban neighborhoods, acreage — Omaha has a little bit of everything.

3. The neighborhoods actually have personality.
Dundee, Benson, Blackstone, Aksarben, the Old Market, Millard, Elkhorn and West Omaha all feel different. Finding the right area is about matching your lifestyle, not chasing some “best neighborhood” list.

4. The food scene is ridiculously good.
Steakhouses, sushi, Vietnamese, Mexican, Italian, chef-driven restaurants, neighborhood bars, coffee shops — we eat very well here....and we don't do chain restaurants becasue we don't have to! 

5. We have some seriously great attractions.
Henry Doorly Zoo, The RiverFront, the Old Market, Lauritzen Gardens, the College World Series, concerts, museums and more.

6. Outdoor life is easy to find.
Trails, lakes, parks, golf, biking, kayaking and plenty of places to get outside without leaving the metro.

7. The airport is easy.
Eppley Airfield is close to downtown and far less painful than many big-city airports. That matters more than people realize

Thinking About Moving to Omaha?

I help people figure out Omaha before they start chasing houses.

Finding the right part of Omaha matters first....and YES I can help with that hit me up.
