Dream-chasing German immigrants first settled in North Bottoms
European emigrants settled the North Bottoms neighborhood of Lincoln in the 1870s, seeking housing, railroad jobs and a foothold in a new country on their way to one day owning their own farms. Families from the same villages clustered together here, creating distinct neighborhoods. While many did move on to farms of their own, the neighborhood's tiny cottages, narrow lots, summer kitchens, chicken coops, and barns still exist and serve as reminders of more than 100 years of North Bottoms' history.
Today, the urban village still attracts like-minded residents, but it’s students who rent many of the homes in the area and gather to tailgate on college game days. University of Nebraska's main campus and mammoth football stadium are adjacent.
“Staff and professors find North Bottoms ideal,'' said Realtor Matt Kirkland, the owner of Giving Realty and a real estate agent in Lincoln for more that 20 years. "They can bike to work and everything they need from dining, shopping and cultural destinations are nearby.”
North Bottoms homes have long driveways.

When the weather is nice it’s fun to use the trolleys to go shopping and then out to lunch or dinner.”
