Classic homes offer an assortment of options
Antelope Park is organized into a series of mostly arrow-straight residential blocks lined neatly with houses built between 1900 and 1965. “It has very popular homes,” says Matt Kirkland, who is the owner of The Matt Kirkland Group and Giving Realty and holds about 20 years of real estate experience. “You can find everything over there from a midcentury modern ranch to an old, classic two-story to Craftsman or a bungalow. You can find a little bit of everything there as far as real estate is concerned.” Most lots are between one-tenth and one-fifth of an acre, giving you front and back yard space. Homes sell for prices ranging from the low $100,000s to the low $300,000s, depending on condition and square footage.
Charming front porches are a common feature of local homes.

Trails and Lincoln’s largest playground are within quick reach
When you live in Antelope Park, the sprawling green space by the same name is just a short walk, bike ride or drive away. The park encompasses “North,” “South,” and “Triangle” sections, which combine to offer an array of attractions, including a ball diamond, a basketball court and Lincoln’s largest playground. “I took my kids, and I take my grandkids to Antelope Park,” Kirkland says. “It’s just a fantastic park.” The Jim Ager Golf Course is considered part of Antelope Park, and is beginner-friendly with its par-3 layout. The course is open from March through November, and also features a driving range. “When I was kid and I didn’t really know how to play, that’s where you would go to learn how to play golf,” Kirkland says. “They’ve got a great little junior golf program. And that’s another huge attraction for that neighborhood.” The paved Rock Island and Billy Wolff trails run through Antelope Park as well, and past the Lincoln Children’s Zoo. The zoo has over 400 animals. “That’s obviously a huge, huge highlight,” Kirkland says. “We have a highly respected zoo here.”
