The shift toward remote work has quietly rewritten the geography of where American professionals want to live.

And when remote workers actually run the numbers, Omaha keeps landing on their shortlists. The metro has added over 25,000 […]

If you are relocating within Nebraska or moving to the state for the first time, the choice between Omaha and Lincoln is one of the more common decisions families face. Both cities rank well on national quality-of-life lists, both offer above-average schools and low crime, and both make sense for families in different ways. That […]

As of mid-2025, the eight-county Omaha metropolitan area passed 1,009,836 residents, up from just over a million the previous year, with the metro growing at roughly 1 percent annually.  That pace might not sound dramatic compared to Sun Belt boomtowns, […]

Drive through Gretna on any given week and the signs of growth are impossible to miss. New subdivisions are going up on land that was farmland just a few years ago. A second high school opened in 2024. The largest Hy-Vee grocery store in the region just debuted at 135,000 square feet. And a $3.2 […]
