Douglas County has exceptional school districts such as Millard Public Schools and others. There is significant redlining that has existed in Omaha since its inception, therefore, diversity is not the greatest. Neighborhoods are safe and clean. A chief complaint of many is the constant construction that delays commutes, but it is usually pretty simple to avoid.
All in all, a great place to live and learn.

I have mixed feelings about living in Douglas County. The people are friendly, traffic isn’t horrible for a city and it’s clean. The taxes here are ridiculous. Property taxes are too high, utilities have increased their rates consistently. Residents refer to Nebraska as the tax me state. Nebraska will always be home, not Douglas County.
I have lived in Douglas County most of my life and have had many wonderful experiences and have been able to partake in many wonderful opportunities.
