A tree-lined suburban reprieve with quick access to Downtown Lincoln

Park-Like Vibrant Convenient Small Business

Narrow streets with wide, tree-filled boulevards push residences back from the road to create a sense of spaciousness in Woods Park. Surprisingly, this urban district sits just 1.5 miles to the east of Downtown Lincoln. Apartment hunters can find rentals clustered along the South 27th street corridor and at the neighborhood's southwest corner.

Making the neighborhood name an obvious choice, Woods Park covers 47.13 acres in the district's northeast corner. This park provides residents with a much-loved green-space oasis. Expect to see your neighbors when you stroll through the scenic paths, hit the tennis courts, or cycle along the trails. Woods Park residents enjoy quick access to goods and services. South 27th street cuts a north-south swath of commercial activity at the heart of the neighborhood. Locals can happily satisfy a sweet craving at the Kitchen Sink Cookie Company or dig into Ethiopian cuisine at Ajora Falls.
