Many Havelock homes have a unique charm.
Havelock has an independent history and a secluded feel
If Havelock has the feeling of a small town all its own on Lincoln’s outskirts, it’s because it once was. This area was part of an independent industrial town established in the 1890s along the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad. Havelock’s autonomy was relatively short-lived — it was annexed into Lincoln in 1930. But roughly 100 years later, this area maintains a somewhat self-sufficient atmosphere, offering a de facto main street of its own in Havelock Avenue, a diverse housing stock, schools and multiple parks.
What buyers can expect from Havelock’s mix of home options
Havelock covers a broad area in northeast Lincoln and is packed with compact, well-established homes. Some date to the community’s early days, at the start of the 20th century, and others were built within the last quarter-century. Together, they average about 1,300 square feet, well below the Lincoln-wide average of roughly 1,800 square feet. “Small homes appeal strongly to certain buyers in a way we haven’t seen in generations,” says local Realtor Saul Bakewell, who’s at Nebraska Realty and has about a dozen years of real estate experience. “Not everyone is raising a family. Many buyers travel for a living. A small home is often ideal for them.” Bungalows and ranches are common in Havelock, across build eras, but you’d be hard-pressed to find two that are exactly the same. Single-family houses in Havelock sell for prices from the lower $100,000s to the upper $400,000s. The area also has townhomes from the upper $100,000s to the upper $200,000s, and multifamily properties, which typically range from the mid-$300,000s to the mid-$500,000s. “I think what you find when you meet people who live in Havelock, is you find people who’ve lived there forever,” says Lisa Mathews, a broker and Realtor at 333 Elm and a Lincoln resident since 1998. “People here, in all different communities, they really do get connected with their community and the identity of that community, and then they stay.”
You will find many smaller single-family homes in the Havelock neighborhood.
Some houses in the area come with an attached garage.

Area schools include LPS campuses and St. Patrick’s Catholic
The highly rated Lincoln Public Schools district extends to Havelock. LPS schools including Pershing Elementary School, Norwood Park Elementary School and Dawes Middle School blend into some of the area’s residential blocks. Families can seek LPS schools elsewhere in the city by applying for focus programs or open enrollment. St. Patrick’s Catholic School is a private option in Havelock offering prekindergarten through eighth grade and a curriculum that includes computer technology, fine arts and religion.
Dawes Middle School is part of the Lincoln Public Schools System.
Pershing Elementary School serves those in preschool through fifth grade.

Central thoroughfare is a center of activity in Havelock
Havelock Avenue is this neighborhood’s Main Street USA. It’s a stretch lined with an eclectic mix of businesses in tall brick Italianate-style buildings and classic glass storefronts. “A lot of new businesses have been established. And there’s old ones that are still there as well,” Mathews says. “It’s really bringing in not just people from Havelock, but from all around. And I’ll go up there for coffee just because it’s a nice environment and the people are very friendly.” You can get a haircut here at Goodfellas Barbershop and Salon, find the supplies you need to upgrade your home at Wolfe Ace Hardware, discover a new statement piece for your closet at The Daisy Thrift Store, or grab groceries at Russ’s Market, all within a half-mile radius. The avenue also has its own dining scene, featuring:
Engine House Cafe, where breakfast is the staple
SoulFull Cocina, which specializes in barbecue
Misty’s Steakhouse & Lounge, whose prime rib is a signature item
1893 Coffee & Cream, where you can pair a latte with a pastry
1893 Coffee & Cream is a highly rated coffee shop in the Havelock neighborhood.
Russ's Market is a popular grocery store for Havelock residents.

Parks and trail options give locals plenty to explore
You can enjoy some fresh air just off Havelock Avenue, at Havelock Park. The neighborhood’s namesake green space stretches almost 4 acres and has a playground and a covered picnic area that locals can rent. The much larger Mahoney Park is available just 2 miles from Havelock Park. Mahoney’s 77 acres include multiple athletic fields, basketball and tennis courts, an enclosed dog run and an 18-hole golf course that’s open to the public. Walkers, joggers and cyclists can also access the almost 2-mile Shanda Dixon Trail and the nearly 5-mile David Murdock Trail at Mahoney. Sunrise Park offers a cozier, 2-acre spot by Norwood Park Elementary, with a playground and shade trees.
A summer picnic at Havelock Park is a great way to enjoy the outdoors.
Mahoney Park has a small playground for younger kids to enjoy.

Whether by car or bus, Havelock maintains connectivity to the city
As relatively removed from the rest of Lincoln as Havelock can feel, it’s still just about 20 minutes by car from Downtown Lincoln and the Nebraska State Capitol. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln City Campus is even closer, roughly 15 minutes away. “It’s kind of on the way to everything, because of its location,” Mathews says. “It’s really easy to get up to Cornhusker Highway and get on over to Waverly or on up to Omaha.” Lincoln’s StarTran bus service stretches out here, too, with multiple stops on Havelock Avenue. Sidewalks on just about every block make it easier to get around within the neighborhood.
Havelock has a small downtown feel.
Havelock residents have easy access to public transportation.
