Current Resident: I've lived here my whole life and I've enjoyed the people and community immensely. The people genuinely seem to care about others and there are lots of small businesses and shops and activities to get involved with. There are lots of things for children. The schools are very good in my experience, the teachers and administrators seem to genuinely care about those they serve. There are lots of opportunities for growth whether that be personally, academically or otherwise. There is a myriad of activities to do for fun, as well.... Read 68 reviews

Current Resident: I love the Chalco area! Houses are in a variety of price ranges. There are plenty of places for kids to be active. We love walking around Wierspan Lake in the Chalco area. It is close to the interstate, which makes it easy to get to various places in the city. Great shopping centers are close by. Nebraska Crossing Outlets are right off of the interstate by Gretna. Oakview Mall is just a few miles away. There is an excellent indoor soccer facility and volleyball courts facility in the area as well. It really is a nice neighborhood right outside the city!...

Current Resident: We built a home 2 years ago in Gretna and have really enjoyed our decision to live here! Currently not many good food options but I do feel like with the current growth rate we will see a lot of new things showing up soon. Neighborhoods are always lively and kids are always playing outside. Love that paved sidewalks are common here.... Read 19 reviews

Current Resident: La Vista is a beautiful place. Despite being something like 80-85 percent white (and probably higher than that), we do claim the title of most diverse city in Sarpy County. Their is currently a huge redevelopment going on with the final phase not expected to be complete for another, like, 10 or 20 years. There is a lot happening in this pleasant little Nebraska community. If you'd like a fantastic place to raise your kids, this would be it.... Read 35 reviews

Current Resident: I absolutely love Bellevue, NE. It is an extremely safe area. I wake up to the sound of birds in the morning and see families on evening walks every single day. All of the residents are Midwest polite and will offer help without being asked. If you want to step outside to take the trash out and be greeted by neighbors looking for a friendly afternoon chat this is the place to be. I couldn't say how many times I've accidently left my garage door open all day long and returned with everything untouched. Going for a jog or walk but don't want to carry your house keys? No problem! I regularly step out for some exercise while leaving my place unlocked without a worry in the world. It is a beautiful area with plenty of wide walking paths that hug gorgeous creeks. I've never been more impressed with living in the city. Bellevue has that homey safe feeling while being within minutes of the big city life.... Read 186 reviews
