Moving to Omaha
Hi,
I was sent a link to this forum because my boyfriend and I have decided to accept a job offer near Omaha, NE, but we will be close enough to the city to actually live in it (YAY!). Anyway, we just want some input on neighborhoods and housing to look into. We are in our mid-late twenties and have lived all over the country. We both have a lot of tattoos and love art and music. We have a very friendly very lovable mastiff who is housebroken and rarely barks. We would prefer a place that does not require credit checks (I hate them, a number should not determine your housing eligibility. We've never been evicted or lost a security deposit.) We would like to be close to things to do but don't want to be party central. I'd prefer single home housing, or a house converted to apartments. A townhome may work. Anyway thanks so much for the input ahead of time!

Re: Moving to Omaha
I don't see anything in this description that would disqualify West Omaha. Â Where the job is will make a pretty big difference.NinaMarieXO wrote:Hi,

What are house prices like in Midtown and Downtown? I've just moved to Omaha and I've always liked the bohemian, cool little areas of cities where there are coffee shops, cool shops, bars and great independent restaurants. It seems these areas usually have old homes with some that have been turned into apartments. Is there such an area in Omaha? I also found a link for realtor reviews at angie's list real estate agents.

You're new here so I'll bring you up to speed. This site is very urban, city-centric. Most of the views expressed on here are going to be slanted towards the urban parts of the city as opposed to the suburban. Their are vocal suburbanites on here, however, you will find they are in the minority. Fair warning before you set down that path. Welcome to the forum.

DTO... I had already figured out that you're a big fan of downtown. Â Happy to be sharing the forum with you - though I'm ready to be a big proponent of West O. Â We may have to agree to disagree on things from time to time.DTO Luv wrote:You're new here so I'll bring you up to speed. This site is very urban, city-centric.
