Omaha’s proximity to Offutt A.F.B. makes it a great location to settle down for military families. As US Air Force personnel return home from the various conflicts around the world, they’ll have to make a lot of decisions on where to relocate a family for the long term. They should definitely consider the Omaha area.

The residents of Omaha do a great job of blending city life with the more casual rural lifestyle. There’s a hometown feeling among the residents of Omaha, probably due to its roots in the farm culture. The corn fields on the outskirts of town are not so far away that the people have forgotten their beginnings (or their manners).

With rural lifestyles so close at hand, one is never too distant from the beauty of the outdoors. It is a very 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. Playing on the river is popular, especially for guys (and gals) who like to fish for some bass every so often. But water sports like personal watercraft are also popular on the river, and you’ll find water skiers enjoying their sport all summer long.

If you are a military family, you likely already know that Bellevue is the home of the base. But there are many other neighborhoods in town that are close 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.
