The cultural center of Omaha is abuzz with historic preservation and new developments
Midtown Omaha borders the western edge of downtown, but in many ways is the heart of the city. With notable historic sites, three massive city parks, and trendy Midtown Crossing, as well as major employers and historic homes, residents enjoy a mixed-use community that balances older and contemporary assets. Michael Maley, a Realtor and team lead at M2 Real Estate Group, a Berkshire Hathaway Home Services company, says, “It’s definitely hopping and popping in Midtown. So much of what you see when you look around this part of Omaha didn’t exist 10 years ago. Midtown Crossing, Blackstone Plaza, and many of the buildings at the University of Nebraska Medical Center are brand new. And there’s so much more to come.”
Within minutes, residents can eat a gourmet sit-down meal, cycle around the city or take the dog for a walk at one of Midtown’s parks. This eclectic neighborhood is at the same time eclectic, walkable and welcoming for residents, employees and visitors.

Midtown offers townhouses, historic homes and stylish condominiums
Midtown Omaha offers a mix of choices, from high-rise condominiums to single-family homes and townhouses. Among single-family properties, buyers can choose from turn-of-the-20th-century bungalows with dormer windows and covered front porches, Tudor-style homes with steep gabled roofs, classic Colonial Revivals with columns, and contemporary newly built homes. Residential streetscapes in Midtown feature mature hardwood trees that provide shade to residents walking along paved sidewalks. Some of the oldest homes have small front yards and back alley-parking with detached garages.
While the median sales price in Midtown is $247,000, historic Queen Anne-style homes from 1891 have recently sold for $500,000 to $600,000, and renovated three-bedroom cottages from 1900 have sold for about $275,000.

Historic sites and city parks draw residents toward renewal all across Midtown
Historic sites rival parks in Midtown for attention from residents and visitors. Saint Cecilia Catholic Cathedral features Spanish Renaissance Revival architecture and is one of the most notable buildings in both Midtown and the state of Nebraska. Joslyn Castle and Gardens, built in 1903, was the home of Western Newspaper Union owner George Joslyn and features Scottish Baronial mansion architecture. Turner Park anchors the heart of Midtown with its 7-acre, circular green space and amphitheater that hosts movie screenings and concerts. While 65-acre Memorial Park is about a mile west of Midtown, it is the largest park in the city and a popular destination for residents and visitors to its World War II memorial and gardens.

Midtown hosts nationally acclaimed and highly awarded restaurants
Midtown leads the way in Omaha with fine-dining restaurants and trendy hot spots. “Omaha diners want an experience,'' Maley says. "It’s not about food volume, it’s about quality and presentation. The best restaurants like Modern Love and Sofra Kitchen are successful because they try different things and they don’t get stale or stuck in their ways. They update their menus frequently and they try different things. If it’s not a great experience, why do it?”
Steakhouses such as Committee Chophouse and Gorat's Steakhouse offer a modern spin on traditional concepts. Proof whiskey bar is about one thing only -- spirits from around the world. Without a food menu, Proof welcomes patrons to bring their own from area restaurants. Along Farnam Street at Turner Park, residents shop, dine and enjoy murals by local artists. Stories Coffee Company is a welcoming spot to study, meet, gather or relax. Hy-Vee grocery is at 51st and Center Street.

Modern streetcars are coming to Downtown Omaha in 2027
While residents in Midtown will find it easy to walk to local markets, parks and restaurants, they will also use their cars to get to work, school or farther destinations. Interstate 680 connects north and west of Omaha, while Interstate 29 links drivers to points south and east.
With continued growth in Omaha, the city is bringing modern streetcars to Downtown, which are set to open in late 2027. The first phase of this $6 million project "will significantly elevate the quality of life in Downtown and Midtown Omaha," says Tim Reeder, co-owner and co-broker with Better Homes and Garden Real Estate, The Good Life Group. The Omaha Streetcar will connect The RiverFront to the Blackstone neighborhood, a distance of about 3 miles. Future phases are expected to extend the streetcar to the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Adds Reeder, “The Omaha Streetcar will be a big boon to students at Creighton University, who will access points across downtown without worrying about parking, traffic or unpleasant weather. Plus, it will be a free service.” It will enhance and support the city’s bus system, Metro Area Transit, which offers more than 27 routes and 2,000 stops.
Omaha Eppley Airfield is 5 miles north of Midtown and provides nonstop flights to more than 30 U.S. destinations. It is in the midst of a $950 million expansion that will add parking, new terminals and an expanded front entrance.
