Dundee: the Omaha neighborhood that still acts like a village

Underwood Avenue, the Dundee Theater, Memorial Park, and a lot of houses from the 1920s. Here's what buying here involves.

The short answer

Dundee was its own village until Omaha annexed it in 1915, and it still feels like one. The center is Underwood Avenue around 50th Street, with coffee, restaurants, and shops you can walk to. Most homes were built between 1900 and 1930: brick, stucco, and Tudor revivals on streets with big trees and alleys. You get character and walkability. You also get older systems, so the inspection matters.

The walk

Underwood Ave
The center

Coffee, restaurants, and shops on a few walkable blocks around 50th Street.

Dundee Theater
4952 Dodge St.

Run by Film Streams. New independent films and old favorites.

Memorial Park
The big lawn

The rose garden, open space, and the hill everybody sleds on in winter.

The houses

Most Dundee homes date from 1900 to 1930. Expect brick and stucco two-stories, Tudor revivals, and some bungalows. Mature trees, alleys, and detached garages are common. Lots tend to be narrower than in west Omaha.

What I'd check on an older Dundee home

1
The sewer line

Scope it before you fall in love. Older clay lines and tree roots are common.

2
The electrical panel

Ask what's been updated. Some older homes still have outdated wiring in places.

3
The windows

Original windows are beautiful and drafty. Price in storms or replacements.

4
Lead paint

Expect a lead-based paint disclosure on any home built before 1978.

Questions I get asked

Is Dundee expensive?

It's one of Omaha's more sought-after close-in neighborhoods, so homes often cost more per square foot than newer suburbs. Size and condition vary a lot from street to street.

Is parking a problem?

Many homes have a detached garage off the alley or street parking only. Visit on a busy evening before you decide.

Can I walk to things?

From most of Dundee, yes. Underwood Avenue, the theater, and Memorial Park are all close.
