Classic houses come in a variety of shapes and sizes
Most of the housing in 40th & A was built between 1920 and 1970. The neighborhood offers a snapshot of classic architecture, where you can find everything from a Cape Cod or a Craftsman bungalow to a midcentury modern ranch-style home. “It’s one of my favorite areas of town, really, for the architecture,” says Matt Kirkland, who’s the owner of The Matt Kirkland Group and Giving Realty and has about 20 years of industry experience. Many homes in 40th & A have been updated and vary in size from 600 to over 3,000 square feet. Residents are close to their neighbors, yet still have their own lawn space. Properties are priced from the low $100,000s to the low $400,000s, based on factors including size and condition. “Houses are moving faster [on the market] in that neighborhood, for sure,” Kirkland says.

Education is available within a quick commute
The city’s Lincoln Public Schools system is top-rated. Many 40th & A homes are within walking distance, or a short bike ride or drive, of at least one district campus. Residents are close to Randolph Elementary School, Holmes Elementary School and Lefler Middle School. It’s a convenience factor that makes 40th & A popular among young families, Kirkland says. “I tell my clients that are looking at real estate, ‘Any time you can walk to school, that’s a good purchase of a house,” Kirkland says. “Because you’re going to be able to sell it to somebody else with no problem in the future.” Families are also close to private options like St. Teresa Catholic School, which serves students from prekindergarten through eighth grade.
Younger students may attend Holmes Elementary School.
Lefler Middle School serves grades PK, K-5.

You’re five or six blocks from there.” The stretch offers access to Super Saver and Hy-Vee grocery stores, a Target, and the Gateway Mall, where there’s Dillard's, Burlington, JCPenney and Dick’s Sporting Goods. The mall also has restaurants like Applebee's and Qdoba. You can grab food even closer to home at 40th & A’s Runza sandwich shop or at Scooter’s Coffee, both of which are part of Nebraska-based chains.
