Central Lincoln is filled with green space, shopping and housing

Central Lincoln is a quiet neighborhood anchored by multiple parks, several medical facilities and an abundance of housing options. Located southeast of Downtown Lincoln and the University of Nebraska flagship campus, the community is mainly residential, with numerous single-family homes and multifamily units. Green spaces are a main feature of the neighborhood, with the 110-acre Holmes Park Lake hosting an abundance of amenities and activities for residents. The area is also home to multiple restaurants and shopping destinations for everyday needs. “It’s a quiet, out-of-the-way neighborhood. You probably don’t even know it’s there, because people don’t go there unless they [live] there” says Mark Meierdierks, an agent with Premier Real Estate who has over 10 years of experience.

Multiple single- and multi- family options with HOA’s present

Architectural styles in the neighborhood can vary from ranch styles, split-levels and bungalows to Colonial Revivals and New Traditionals. Townhomes and multifamily units are also present. Prices generally range from as low as $100,000 to $550,000, however some properties can reach above the $800,000 and $900,000 price points. Meierdierks says that HOAs are present throughout the neighborhood and fee structures can typically run between $140 and $200 per month.

Properties are typically on gridded streets or on cul-de-sacs, with smaller lots and oak trees accenting lawns. Sidewalks are also a common feature. The neighborhood has a CAP Index Crime Score of 3, lower than the national average of 4.

Holmes Lake Park is the main green space with other options nearby

Holmes Lake Park offers multiple amenities, including baseball diamonds, sports courts, walking trails and fishing spots. The Holmes Park Golf Course is open to the public and has a 6,300-yard, par-71 layout. Other green spaces within Central Lincoln include Roberts Park, featuring sports courts and a playground.
