Lincoln is a large city with a University, community college, and a private University. Many healthy options are available with a city wide biking path system and several lakes for activities. Lincoln is quite diverse with many cultural activities and demonstrations held throughout the year. Warm summers, not so bad winters, and many public schools for the residents here help make Lincoln one of the nicest large cities in the midwest!
Lincoln, Nebraska is a quaint, but vibrant, place. The city has the charm of a small, mid-western town, and the energy of a growing metropolis. There is always something to do; concerts, sporting events, food-fests, or civic engagements can be experienced all year round. The city has always been a great place for more established families, but in the last decade a focus on young families and singles has become apparent. Lincoln is a great place to live, work, and play!
A big city with a small town feel, Lincoln is the best of both worlds. Beautiful during all seasons, it hasn't been difficult to fall in love with its charm. Bike trails every where, the addition of THREE new dogparks (coming July 2017), a school famous not just for the athletics but also for the spirit of its students and residents, this city has something for everyone. I am here for 3 years and I wish it was longer!
