Ashland, NE Homes for Rent

Ashland is a small community of about 3,000 residents in Nebraska, set near Salt Creek roughly halfway between Omaha and Lincoln. The historic downtown has brick-paved streets lined with locally owned shops, restaurants, bakeries and boutiques, drawing people from nearby towns and even outside the state to shop, eat or relax. Dining attractions range from Glacial Till Cider House & Tasting Room and BW’s Pub & Grill to Ruhlman’s Steakhouse, Luna Azul and Cellar 426 Winery near U.S. Route 6. Housing in central Ashland includes early-1900s National-style homes and ranch-style houses from the 1950s to 1980s on quarter- to half-acre lots, while newer developments such as Iron Horse, Icehouse Ridge and Whitetail Run feature New Traditional homes with attached garages. Wiggenhorn Memorial Park provides pickleball courts, a playground, pool and splash pad, and the OxBow Trail System starts just outside downtown. Nearby attractions include Eugene T. Mahoney State Park with trails, an observation deck and aquatic center, plus Lee G. Simmons Wildlife Safari Park and several public golf courses like Iron Horse, Quarry Oaks, Ashland Golf Club and Country Drive Golf Course. Ashland-Greenwood Middle School is part of a district that recently expanded its elementary facilities and has been recognized with the state’s Diamond Badge for school safety. Route 6 connects to Interstate 80 about 2 miles away, making it about 35 miles to Omaha and Eppley Airfield and 30 miles to Lincoln, with CHI Health Lakeside Hospital about 20 miles away.
