Hickman is part of the Lincoln metro area, with the big city just about 20 miles away.
Hickman has a self-sufficient feel, just outside Lincoln
Hickman is where you can pull up for karaoke night at the familiar bar and grill, or grab the supplies you need for your next project at the locally owned hardware store. It’s where parks are available around town, offering spots for fresh air within walking distance for many. And it’s where well-established homes stand close to recently built options on quiet blocks. It all combines to create a small-town feel that’s attracting new residents to this spot just 20 miles from Lincoln.
Older homes and modern builds offer options for a variety of budgets
The community first blossomed in the late 1800s, and some of the houses here date to the turn of the 20th century. That includes classic Craftsman-style options and American Foursquares. Mid-to-late-century split-levels and ranch-style homes are common, too. There’s also an expanding selection of modern New Traditional houses in subdivisions like Terrace View and Baylor Heights, paving a way for newcomers to the area. “I think it goes back to you have a lot of people who are looking for a small-town feel but that might work in Lincoln,” says local Realtor Brandon Fowler, who’s with Nebraska Realty and has been selling houses since 2019. “And especially now that we’ve got the (Lincoln South Beltway) put in, you can get downtown in 20, 25 minutes.”
Most homes in the Hickman area sell for prices from the lower $100,000s to the lower $700,000s, depending on factors such as age, acreage and square footage. “There’s a wide variety of houses in a lot of different price points,” Fowler says. Hickman’s median sale price of roughly $370,000 is a tad higher than Lincoln’s median of about $300,000.
The area offers a variety of modern New Traditional-style homes.

Hickman City Park features multiple ball fields.
Parks, trails and recreation areas give residents room to roam
Hickman features over 40 acres of public park space. “There’s tons of outdoor recreation areas,” Fowler says. That space is split into spots like:
Hickman City Park, which is also known as Main Park and features a full-length basketball court, a playground and three ball fields.
Hickman Neighborhood Park, where the playground includes a zip line
LP Stewart Family Skate Park, with obstacles that include a four-stair handrail
The paved Hickman Linear Park Trail runs by Hickman City Park as well, part of a 1-mile path that flows along the west side of the community. “It’s also just a few miles away from the Homestead Trail, if people are interested in cycling,” Fowler says. “That connects into the trail systems that go all the way down to Marysville, Kansas, and pretty close to Omaha as well. So there’s just a wealth of walking trails, hiking trails, biking trails, all of that, that are very, very close to people.” You can also get active indoors at the Hickman Community Center downtown, which offers free open gym and pickup basketball hours.
Hickman can attend Norris schools on a shared campus

While there are no Norris schools within Hickman, the district’s elementary, intermediate, middle and high schools share a 270-acre campus just about 4 miles away. The high school features an agriculture department with classes like advanced floral design and landscaping.

Commuters have a simple route to Lincoln
Hickman’s status as a bedroom community of Lincoln comes with just about a 20-mile commute to downtown using roadways like the Lincoln South Beltway and the Homestead Expressway. The trip takes just under 25 minutes, and traffic typically isn't much of an issue. “It’s pretty smooth, in all honesty,” Fowler says of the drive. Locals can also get around the area using Lancaster County Rural Transit, which offers door-to-door rides to Hickman residents on Tuesdays and Thursdays, though riders must schedule trips at least a day in advance.
