Finding Affordable Omaha Homes Near Offutt Air Force Base
Omaha’s nearness to Offutt Air Force Base makes it a obvious hometown for military families to setting down and settle into civilian life.

The residents of Omaha do a nice job of blending city life with the casual country lifestyle. There’s a hometown feeling among the people of Omaha, probably because of its roots in the farm culture. The farms on the edge of town are not so distant that residents have forgotten their beginnings (or their manners).
With the countryside close at hand, one is never too far from the joys of spending time outdoors with the family. It is quite a short drive (in fact, a short walk, depending on where you choose to live) to the powerful 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 cast the line in for some smallmouth every now and then. But water sports like personal watercraft are also a big hit on the river, and you’ll find water skiers out all summer long.
If you are a military family, you probably already know that Bellevue is the home of the base. But there are many other neighborhoods in town that are close to Offutt, and they are good choices for school districts as well as homes.
