New Traditionals, ranch-style homes and more sell for under $600,000
New Traditionals, Colonial Revivals, split-levels and ranch-style homes, most with attached, two- or three-car garages, overlook sidewalks and small front lawns throughout the neighborhood. Young bur oaks, cottonwoods and eastern redbud trees are evenly spaced on narrow, grassy verges. “You can get a nice house without going overboard [on price]. And the area has been holding its value, keeping up with appreciation,” Lemke says. “I remember selling new construction out here when it was still getting built out, and homes were going for the upper $100,000s then.” Today, prices start close to $240,000 and rise to about $530,000.
Ponds in the area pose minimal flood risk. Lincoln is vulnerable to tornadoes.
