Not surprisingly, North Central Omaha is directly north of Central Omaha and west of North Omaha. North Central Omaha begins around Glenn Cunningham Lake and extends southward toward Highway 64, with Interstate 680 extending along the west side of the neighborhood. This neighborhood is close to a variety of popular destinations, including Downtown Omaha (about seven miles southeast) and the University of Nebraska-Omaha (about four miles south). Other nearby landmarks include the Joslyn Art Museum and the Orpheum Theater.

Popular for boating and fishing, Glenn Cunningham Lake features over 1,000 acres of parkland that includes hiking trails, playgrounds, picnic areas, bicycling, mountain biking, and campgrounds. But while this is the largest park in the area, it isn't the only one. North Central Omaha features Maple Village Park, the Warren Swigart Golf Course, Esther Pilster Park, and several more.
