Eastridge welcomed innovation in new home design when founded in 1950
Shortly after World War II, Lincoln began to rapidly develop eastward, a growth fueled by the influx of thousands of young families in need of new homes and retail destinations. The midsized neighborhood of Eastridge provided both -- both then and today.
About 500 brand-new ranch-style homes were built by the well-known Strauss brothers between 1950 and 1970. Featuring low-pitched gable roofs and prefabricated but high-quality materials, the homes initially sold from $5,000 to $10,000. The Strauss brothers went on to build more than 35,000 homes in Lincoln and Omaha. Nearby Gateway Mall, which opened in 1960, offered retailers closer to home than downtown. Today, Gateway Mall is still the largest shopping center in Lincoln.
Eastridge neighborhood also includes Eastridge Pool, Pius X Catholic High School, Eastridge Elementary and the Unitarian Church of Lincoln. A thriving retail corridor along O Street's north edge offers fast food, grocery stores, gas stations and retail shops.
Eastridge is filled with Mid-Century Modern style homes.
Sidewalks are found throughout the Eastridge neighborhood.
