Enjoy The Good Life

Simple gestures speak volumes. A smile. A head nod. A wave. A door held open for you. It’s the small things that make a community, well, a community. And that’s just what you’ll find here. Before you know it, you’ll be waving at strangers, too.

Cost Of Living

Nebraska ranks lower than the national average on housing, utilities, transportation and health costs. We boast state-of-the-art healthcare and lower-than-average medical bills. Since almost 50% of households earn between $35,000 and $100,000, we’ve been named the best state for the middle class, which is a title we’ll take with pride. We’re one of the most affordable states to raise a family in.
