College View cultivates college-town energy on the city’s south side
College View is a Lincoln neighborhood that draws its energy from Union Adventist University, the over 130-year-old school that calls the area home. Union is the anchor for an area that almost feels like its own small town, with an eclectic assortment of locally owned businesses and parks. The neighborhood's homes are high on classic character, some having been here for almost as long as the university itself.
Most College View homes have well-kept lawns.
The neighborhood has many small businesses to visit.

What home styles and prices look like in College View
The bulk of College View’s single-family homes were built between 1900 and 1980. Many of the neighborhood’s oldest houses are located close to Union, and Craftsman is the dominant style among them. College View’s mid-to-late-century homes feature mostly split-level and ranch-style properties, many with brick exteriors. The streets are laced with sidewalks, and most homes are only a short distance from the neighborhood’s amenities.
Listings range from the low $100,000s to the mid-$300,000s, depending on factors including square footage and condition. “It’s a very affordable area,” says Brad Hulse, owner and broker at The 1897 Collective in Lincoln, with about 20 years of real estate experience. “Most homes in that neighborhood are going to be under $300,000.” College View also has some townhouses priced in the $200,000s. Just over half of the neighborhood’s residents are renters, but the area doesn’t cater only to students and other members of the university community. “I’ve sold homes to several local business owners in College View,” says Matt Kirkland, the owner of The Matt Kirkland Group and Giving Realty, who has been selling homes for two decades. “It says a lot about the strength of a community when business owners live where they work.”
Sidewalks can be found throughout most of the neighborhood.
Some of the homes have attached garages.

Neighborhood’s university carries a strong presence
Though relatively small, especially when compared to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 5 miles north, the neighborhood’s private Union Adventist University offers over 50 majors and minors in disciplines from accounting to nursing. Operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Union has about 750 students and maintains student-teacher ratios of 8-to-1. “The college itself is a big draw for people,” Hulse says.
Younger students in College View can attend schools in the Lincoln Public Schools system. The neighborhood is zoned to schools, including the top-rated Pound Middle School and Lincoln Southeast High School, which offers skilled and technical sciences courses in topics ranging from architecture to robotics.
Lincoln Southeast High School serves students in grades 9 through 12.
Students in grades 6 through 8 attend Pound Middle School.

Where to find coffee, tacos and more shopping near Union and beyond
A stretch called 48th Street cuts through the middle of College View, a main road that anchors the neighborhood’s walkable business district. The area offers all sorts of places to eat, shop and explore, a short stroll from Union. “There’s nothing that’s franchised or anything like that, so they’re all small, locally owned businesses. They range anywhere from bakeries to banks,” Hulse says. Some of the options include:
The Mill Coffee & Tea, known for its relaxing atmosphere, complete with a rustic, exposed brick interior
Taco Inn, a fast-food option for Mexican food
Sapahn, a boutique with its own line of leather handbags
Licorice International, a Lincoln-based candy vendor, sells some 200 types of licorice sourced from over a dozen countries
You can grab snacks from College View’s Goldenrod Grocery, or head about 2 miles south to the Edgewood Shopping Center for more grocery and household items. The plaza houses Super Saver, Target, Dollar Tree and Petco.
Licorice International sells licorice from around the world.
College View has a lively small community feel.

The area is also just west of the 270-acre Holmes Lake Park, where a 110-acre lake that’s open to fishing and nonmotorized boating is the main attraction.
