Finding Affordable Omaha Homes Near Offutt Air Force Base
Omaha’s close proximity to Offutt AFB makes it a wonderful location to settle down for military families. As U.S.A.F. personnel redeploy from the various conflicts around the world, they must make many decisions abouut where to relocate their families for the long term. The Omaha area should definitely be considered.
The people of Omaha do a great job of mixing city life with a relaxed country lifestyle. There’s a down home feeling among the people who live in Omaha, probably because of its roots in farming. The farms on the edge of town are not so distant that the people have forgotten their beginnings (or their manners).
With the countryside close at hand, one is never too far from the beauty of the outdoors. It is a short drive (in fact, a short walk, depending on where you call your home) to the beautiful Missouri River, where you’ll find three seasons (at least) worth of fun. Playing on the river is popular, especially for those of us who like to cast the line in for some bass every so often. But water sports like personal watercraft are also popular on the river, and you’ll find water skiers out 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 neighborhoods around 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.
