Nebraska's oldest town, Offutt Air Force Base, Fontenelle Forest, and some of the metro's most affordable homes.
Bellevue sits just south of Omaha in Sarpy County, along the Missouri River. It's home to Offutt Air Force Base, so military families are a big part of the market and VA loans are common. You'll find older ranches and split-levels near the base, newer neighborhoods to the south and west, and Fontenelle Forest and Haworth Park for the outdoors. Prices are often lower than in Papillion or west Omaha.
Home to U.S. Strategic Command. A steady stream of PCS moves keeps the market active year-round.
The historic downtown, with local restaurants and shops.
Over 1,400 acres of forest and wetlands along the river.
Camping, ball fields, a boat ramp, and the river trail.
Near the base and Old Towne, expect 1950s to 1970s ranches and split-levels, many with basements and bigger yards. South and west, newer subdivisions from the last 25 years bring two-stories, HOAs, and newer systems.
Older homes near the river deserve a careful look at the basement, the grading, and the sewer line.
