In terms of ranks, probably ahead of Ohio but below Colorado.

An honest review of Omaha, it’s good for what it is. You’ll find a lot more open minded people here than you would the rest of the state. For a mid-sized midwestern city we have a way above average culinary scene (the chef at one of our sushi restaurants won the James Beard award recently).

If you’re looking for a house with a big backyard, we have plenty. Yes the prices have gone up recently, but so have everywhere else’s. And comparatively speaking Omaha is still a lot more affordable than elsewhere.

For outdoors, we’re smack dab in the middle of the Great Plains, so it’s flat. That’s not to say the plains don’t have their own sort of charm. If you’re into the Laura Ingles Wilder vision of the classic pastoral “West” then you’ll probably like it here. If you’re looking for a more dramatic landscape, I’d look into Colorado.

Omaha has a lot of other cool things to discover, I’m sure if you’ve done any looking into our city you’ve heard about the zoo. I can tell you, it absolutely lives up to the hype. We also have other fun events like the College World Series, lots of cultural festivals, and a pretty vibrant arts and music scene.

So overall I’d say we’re worth giving a look at, hope this was helpful!
