Finding Affordable Omaha Homes Near Offutt Air Force Base
Omaha’s nearness to Offutt AFB makes it a logical city for military families to put down roots. As US Air Force personnel return home from conflicts around the world, they must make quite a few decisions on where to raise their families for the long term. The Omaha area should definitely be considered.
The residents of Omaha do a great job of mixing city life with a relaxed rural lifestyle. There’s a downhome feeling among the people who live in Omaha, probably because of its roots in the farm culture. The corn fields are not so distant that the people have forgotten their roots (or their manners).
With rural lifestyles so close at hand, one is never too far from the joys of spending time in the great outdoors. It is quite a short drive (in fact, a short walk, depending on where you choose to live) to the powerful Missouri River, where you’ll find three seasons (at least) worth of fun. Playing on the river is a popular pastime, especially for guys (and gals) who like to go fishing for some smallmouth every so often. 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 likely already know that Bellevue is the home of the base. But there are many neighborhoods around the City 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.
