Falls City is quilted together in the prairies of Southeast Nebraska
In the 1800s, Falls City was a vital stop on the Underground Railroad. Today, it is a quaint Midwestern community of about 4,000 residents centered around Stone Street, which is reminiscent of a commercial district from the Gilded Age. The town center has a mural called the “Quilted Truck,” depicting several locals standing around a colorful pickup truck. Its poem highlights the area’s diverse residents, quilted together in a small-town community surrounded by farmland prairies. "I’ve been here my whole life. It’s a great place to live, and it’s a good place to raise your kids," says Sherri Howard, a lifelong local and salesperson at Poppe Realty & Management. "Everybody’s close and willing to help each other in hard times."

Wide-ranging architecture and historic houses along shady brick roads
Historic homes rest along tree-lined brick streets, shaded by mature hackberry trees. Falls City has a collection of eclectic architectural styles, and its median year of construction is 1920. The area primarily features Craftsman bungalows, Tudor and prairie-style homes. While pricing data is somewhat limited due to a lack of available listings, prices range from $50,000 to $320,000. "Young people come back to the community after leaving because their family is established here," Howard says. "People come here to get away from big cities and because it’s more affordable. To people from out of state, our prices are a bargain."
Falls City home prices range from $50,000 to $320,000.
