Clinton combines an array of attractions into one central neighborhood

Located northwest of Downtown Lincoln , Clinton keeps you close to the city while still feeling residential. You can grab groceries, try a new restaurant or run errands without ever leaving the neighborhood. Along North 27th Street, you can shop at international markets and dine at locally owned eateries that add variety to your everyday routine. Clinton stands out for its walkable layout, close access to schools, parks and transit, while remaining just minutes from downtown and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campuses.

Early 20th-century homes with renovation and investor potential

Clinton’s architecture transports you back to early 20th-century Lincoln. Craftsman-style bungalows from that period command this neighborhood’s tree-shaded and sidewalk-lined streets. Some are in better condition than others, offering the opportunity for sweat equity if you want it. “I have seen a lot of homes where people have renovated them. There’s some bigger homes in that area, and people make them into multifamilies. So there’s that investor opportunity,” says local Realtor Meranda Wente, who’s with Home Real Estate and has about six years of industry experience. “I’ve also seen some where there are older people who have lived in their house for 50-some years, and so you can go in and rip the wallpaper and take up the carpet and all the things to get those nice wood floors showing again. So it really is a good mix.” Prices in Clinton start in the $80,000s and can reach the mid-$300,000s.

Clinton is close to schools and three UNL campuses

The Lincoln Public Schools system is highly rated, and many in Clinton are within walking distance of Clinton Elementary. The school is housed in a Collegiate Gothic-style building dating to 1925 and hosts activities including a summertime youth soccer camp organized by the local nonprofit Lincoln International FC. Older students in in the neighborhood are minutes from three separate University of Nebraska-Lincoln campuses: the City Campus, the Innovation Campus and the East Campus. UNL is the state’s largest school with about 24,000 students.

Clinton’s main corridor features diverse stores and restaurants

While Clinton is primarily residential, North 27th Street provides access to an assortment of businesses at the center of the neighborhood. Many of the businesses represent the area’s cultural diversity. The list includes Asian grocery stores Hong Kong Market and New Market, as well as Alfourat Grocery, where all of the items are halal. Restaurants are close, too. “One thing about Lincoln as a whole is that there are a lot of locally owned restaurants. And that’s what I tend to go towards a little bit more,” Wente says. “And a lot of them, I would say, in that area are walkable.” You can choose from places like:

  • D'Leon's Mexican Food, where you can pick up food any time of day, 24-7
  • Tiru Ethiopian Restaurant, which specializes in authentic Ethiopian cuisine, including injera bread
  • Vung Tau, known for its pho broth
Big-box stores and chain eateries are about 4 miles away along O Street. Options there include the Gateway Mall, where the tenants include Dillard’s and Panda Express.

You can grab grocery items at Hong Kong Market.

Local parks provide playgrounds, courts and fields

Pentzer Park along North 27th Street is one of the neighborhood's multiple green spaces, with a basketball court, a playground and a covered picnic shelter. To the west, Lintel Park is similar, but adds an outdoor fitness station. Clinton is also home to the 29-acre Fleming Fields Recreational Sports Park, which has four well-maintained baseball diamonds, managed by UNL’s Campus Recreation department. Pentzer, Lintel, and Fleming Fields are all connected to the 3-mile paved John Dietrich Trail.

Trail, bus and short drives link Clinton to UNL and beyond

Clinton commuters can take the John Dietrich Trail over to UNL’s City Campus and East Campus; some residents are close enough to walk. Downtown Lincoln and the Nebraska State Capitol are less than a 10-minute drive. You can also catch the StarTran bus within the neighborhood, and UNL students ride free.
