Lincoln, NE Apartments for Rent

Awards – Lincoln has ‘em. One of the nation’s best college towns, one of the best downtowns, one of the top 100 places to live (three years in a row and counting), one of the nation’s most recession-proof cities, a top beer city, a best place to retire … whew! If you are thinking about moving to Lincoln, get ready to take lots of bows as you’ll be a part of this city’s many accolades.

The dynamic, vibrant, and progressive city you see today began as wild salt marshes. The city was founded in 1856 as Lancaster, but the name was later changed to honor President Lincoln. In 1869, the University of Nebraska was founded. Today, the Cornhuskers football team is a point of pride in the city, so be ready to cheer them on.

As a major Midwestern city, you’ll find a lot of charm mixed in with those skyscrapers. Yes, Lincoln is urban, but it’s the urban core of an otherwise rural state, filled with all of the things you love about the Midwest – the open prairies, the farmhouses, the open sky. Golfers will find five municipal golf courses in the area, and nearby parks include the Pioneers Park Nature Center, the Sunken Gardens, and Woods Park.

Beauty surrounds Lincoln, and so does great shopping. Head to Gateway Mall for traditional stores or discover unique boutiques in the historic Haymarket District. Lincoln is a family-friendly city with the events to prove it – take the kids to the Lincoln County State Fair or enjoy the Capital City Ribfest. Holms Lake Recreation Area offers a day at the lake ended by an amazing sunset over the water.

Within the city itself, you have theaters, museums, and nightlife. Visit the Lied Center for the Performing Arts, the Haymarket Theatre, and the Bourbon Theatre. For art and culture head to the Sheldon Museum of Art, the Nebraska History Museum, the Lincoln Children’s Museum, the Great Plains Art Museum, and the National Museum of Roller Skating (because why not add some quirky to culture).

As the capital of Nebraska, you’ll discover many government buildings in town, including the Nebraska State Capitol. After a long day at work, walk on over to one of Lincoln’s many top-rated restaurants and see what else makes Lincoln so popular. Top destinations include The Oven, Old Chicago, LeadBelly, HopCat-Lincoln, and Blue Sushi Sake Grill.
