Finding Affordable Omaha Homes Near Offutt Air Force Base
by Phil on Mar.10, 2010, under General Interest
Omaha’s close proximity to Offutt AFB in Bellevue makes it a logical location for military families to put down roots. As U.S.A.F. personnel redeploy from the various conflicts around the world, they must make quite a few decisions on where to relocate their families for the long term. The Omaha area should definitely be considered.
Omaha does a nice job of blending city life with a more relaxed rural lifestyle. There’s a hometown feeling among the people who live in Omaha, probably because of its roots in farming. The corn fields on the outskirts of town are not so far away that the people have forgotten their roots (or their manners).
With the countryside close at hand, one is never too distant from the joys of spending time outdoors with the family. It is a very short drive (in fact, a short walk, depending on where you call your home) to the grand Missouri River, where you’ll find three seasons (at least) worth of fun. Boating on the river is popular, especially for those of us who like to go fishing for some bass every so often. But water sports are also a big hit on the river, and you’ll find water skiers out all summer long.
If you’re stationed at Offutt, you likely already know that Bellevue is the home of the base. But there are many neighborhoods in 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.
