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.
Coffee, restaurants, and shops on a few walkable blocks around 50th Street.
Run by Film Streams. New independent films and old favorites.
The rose garden, open space, and the hill everybody sleds on in winter.
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.
Scope it before you fall in love. Older clay lines and tree roots are common.
Ask what's been updated. Some older homes still have outdated wiring in places.
Original windows are beautiful and drafty. Price in storms or replacements.
Expect a lead-based paint disclosure on any home built before 1978.
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.
Many homes have a detached garage off the alley or street parking only. Visit on a busy evening before you decide.
From most of Dundee, yes. Underwood Avenue, the theater, and Memorial Park are all close.
