Historic homes along winding boulevards amid abundant outdoor amenities
The near southeast Lincoln neighborhood of Greater South offers a blend of early 20th-century homes along elegant winding boulevards interspersed with contemporary houses of worship, trendy restaurants and miles of parks, golf courses and biking trails.
According to Matt Kirkland, realtor and owner of Giving Realty and a Lincoln real estate agent for more than 20 years, “This mix of old and new, or historic and contemporary, is what sets Greater South apart from its neighbors. When buyers can’t decide between the historic homes of downtown or newer homes in the suburbs, I introduce them to Greater South. The blend of home styles here with the variety of amenities is a great fit for buyers with many boxes to check.”
