Lincoln Reviews
Rating 3.96 out of 5 856 reviews
Lincoln is a collection of several small towns that have been combined to create our state's capital city. The names of these former small towns are now the names of the respective neighborhoods within Lincoln. Several have retained their main streets and a neighborly atmosphere. New and old businesses complement one another. For those who enjoy shopping and urban exploration, each part of town offers something fun and often unexpected. If you like to eat out, you'll love Lincoln!
Lincoln is a richly and peacefully diverse city. Many cultures call Lincoln home and we easily embrace this part of our heritage. We have neighbors of all colors, origins, orientations, identities, creeds and races. What we don't have is tension. We all enjoy a peaceful city to call home.
Lincoln is always growing. The cost of living in Lincoln is so low that many families from the coasts move here. They have found that what they paid for a modest home elsewhere nets them an enviable house here.

Husker athletics are awesome and very affordable compared to professional sports cities. Violent crime is pretty low, but there is some property crime. Pretty relaxed atmosphere overall. Southwest, southeast, east and northwest areas have the best neighborhoods. Lots of good schools, too. Near South and areas just north of downtown can be sketchy. Lincoln PD is pretty aggressive in not letting this city become as run down as some of the bigger ones around the country. No tent living anywhere and some homeless downtown east to 27th Street and out on West O Street near the mission, but nothing overwhelming. Lots of new construction downtown, in Haymarket and on the UNL campus.
I've lived in Lincoln, Nebraska the entirety of my life and, truly, there's no other place I'd rather reside. The captivating views one can find from a simple drive around town is astonishing. Our most popular areas during the summer are Sunken Gardens and Pioneer Park.
The people of Lincoln are family-oriented. It isn't peculiar to find families making a tradition of going to parks and having annual picnics as the weather warms up. Neighborhoods are relatively safe, and children are frequently seen playing in their yards and befriending other youth around the block. The sense of community is powerful.
Living in Lincoln, you'll always have someone looking out for you, whether a neighbor, family, or friend. Although the chatter seems to be able to go on forever, Lincoln can also be rather quiet. It's not uncommon for the only noises to be the rustling of leaves and the distant droning of cars rolling down the road.
There isn't anywhere I'd rather be.
