Capitol View puts residents near one of Lincoln’s signature icons
Just about anywhere you go in Capitol View, you can see one of Lincoln’s most recognizable landmarks peering over roofs and through tree branches: the Nebraska State Capitol. The iconic 400-foot-tall Art Deco tower anchors this neighborhood and is a defining feature of the skyline. Many homes in this Downtown Lincoln neighborhood are within walking distance of the Capitol, as well as offices, restaurants and other attractions.
The State Capitol is part of the Capitol View neighborhood.

Capitol View has many examples of Craftsman bungalows.
Traditional homes offer a cozy feel near downtown
Capitol View gives you a downtown-adjacent location in an environment that differs from downtown. Housing downtown is limited to condos and apartments, but Capitol View adds traditional single-family homes to the mix. “We’re finding people want that small-town feel, and that’s what people have in that neighborhood,” says Karalyn Hoefer, who’s the broker and owner at NextHome Integrity and has about 25 years of real estate experience. Many of the area’s single-family houses are Craftsman-style bungalows. They’re situated along sidewalk-lined blocks and blend in with Capitol View’s own selection of apartment buildings. Well over 90% of the neighborhood’s residents are renters, but homes for sale typically range from the low $70,000s to the mid-$100,000s.
Muchacho's is a great place to enjoy the outdoor patio during lunch.
Area restaurants cover a variety of tastes
This neighborhood is part of a downtown sphere that’s loaded with dining options. Billy’s, within Capitol View, is just about a block from the Nebraska State Capitol. Open since 1986, Billy’s is unique for its location and atmosphere, within an 1880s Victorian-style home. “The chef is just so social and loves to strike up conversations with his guests. You will see a lot of familiar faces there," Hoefer says. "A lot of our local politicians and business owners love it because of the atmosphere and intimacy.” Other options you'll find just outside the neighborhood include:
Muchachos, which serves a variety of burritos, nachos and tacos stuffed with brisket, chicken or pulled pork
The Green Gateau, where the brunch is the draw
Cultiva Downtown, a place for coffee and crepes
The locally owned Canopy Street Market in downtown’s Historic Haymarket District is one of the closest places for grocery shopping. The district offers an eclectic mix of other stores, too, from candy store Licorice International to Bluestem Books, a used bookstore founded in 1977.
Students have nearby options from elementary through college
The highly rated Lincoln Public Schools system serves young students in this neighborhood. Some homes are within walking distance of either McPhee Elementary School or Lincoln High School. The career and technical education department at LHS offers courses ranging from industrial technology to business. Capitol View residents are also just about a mile from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus. UNL is the state’s largest school with about 24,000 students.
Lincoln High School serves those in grades 9 through 12.
McPhee Elementary School includes prekindergarten through fifth grade.

Parks and a lengthy bike path are within close reach
Capitol View is close to the compact but well-kept Hazel Abel Park. This gated space features a playground, a fountain, and lots of trees and other greenery. Cooper Park is a tad farther, but bigger, offering tennis courts, a horseshoe court and a ball diamond. Cyclists in Capitol View also aren’t too far from the Billy Wolff Trail, an 11-mile paved path that runs north to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Bob Devaney Sports Center, home to the school’s popular volleyball program. “Lincoln has one of the best park and trail systems in the nation,” Hoefer says. “We really pride ourselves on that connectivity, between our biking and walking paths.”
Commuting is relatively easy with walkable streets and bus service
You can get around the neighborhood and over to places like the State Capitol on foot, thanks to the sidewalks on virtually every block. The StarTran bus service runs through the neighborhood as well. The Lincoln Airport is just about a 5-mile drive from Capitol View.
You can take a quick bus ride from Capitol View to UNL's main campus.
Capitol View sits on the edge of downtown Lincoln.
