Bellevue has been a wonderful place to grow up in. It has everything you would ever need and a large diversity of races and cultures due to the close proximity to Offutt Air Force Base. The airshow is a great time and not having to travel very far for the College World Series is a blessing.

I have been living in Bellevue Nebraska all my life and I really don't have any complains about it. Sometimes the area can get boring, but Bellevue has treated me very well my whole life!

I live off of golden boulevard. I LIVE in bellevue, yet I'm still forced to go to papillon school district. Although they offer me bussing, that cannot take me everywhere I need to be. Such as games that I cheer at, my college classes etc. So I have no choice but to have a car.

Bellevue is an alright place to live depending on your age. If you're older than 40 and married, you might find that it's a pretty safe and quiet place to live. For the younger age groups however, there's not very many things to do, so Bellevue can be pretty boring as well. All in all, it's a nice place to live but it can get old after a while. I would love to see some attractions added so that it feels more inclusive.
