Florence is a historic riverside neighborhood in North Omaha
Florence sits along the Missouri River on the northern edge of Omaha. The neighborhood traces its roots to the mid-1800s, when the site became a temporary settlement for westward travelers. Today, residents enjoy modern conveniences amid historic sites like the Florence Mill, the Florence Depot Museum and the Bank of Florence, the oldest bank building in Nebraska. Properties often sell at prices below the citywide median, though the diverse inventory also includes larger homes on generously sized lots. Several local restaurants have strong followings, and major highways make it easy for commuters to get around the city.
The Florence Mill, known as the Winter Quarters Mill Museum, is a historic mill and art gallery.

Florence offers buyers a broad selection of homes at various prices
Florence is a large neighborhood with a wide variety of housing styles. Buyers can choose among bungalows and Nationals dating to the early 1900s, midcentury ranch-style homes and sprawling Tudor-style mansions on multiacre lots. Some houses have been fully updated, while others still need TLC. Because the residential area sits on the northern outskirts of the city, it has a rural feel in some places, with roads that give way to long unpaved stretches. “The trees are huge and magnificent,” says Pam Rasmussen-Schurkamp, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices who frequently visits the area. Properties usually sell from around $85,000 to the mid-$700,000s, with a median sale price around $200,000s.
Ranch-style homes are one example of the many options for Florence homebuyers.
Spacious Tudor-style homes can be found in the northern part of the Florence neighborhood.

Parks and community celebrations highlight the area’s heritage
Florence Park has been a community fixture since the 1840s, when it was established as the town square. Today, the patch of green space features shaded walking paths, a playground and a monument dedicated to the area’s pioneer history. Residents can also get outside to play at these areas:
Colonial Acres Park, a forested area spanning around 12 acres
Craig’s Park, which has a baseball diamond and a playground
Omaha Riverfront Trail, a 20-mile multiuse path that follows the bank of the Missouri River
North Market Square Park, with tennis and basketball courts near the Florence Public Library and community center
The long-running Florence Days celebration is typically held in May. Events and activities at the two-day festival include pop-up markets, a pie-eating contest and tours of the neighborhood’s preserved landmarks.
Florence Park is a popular space for local families.
Locals enjoy morning jogs or evening strolls down the Omaha Riverfront Trail.

Where to find restaurants and groceries in Florence
Florence offers a mix of restaurants, some of them longtime favorites. Highlights include:
Harold’s Koffee House, serving classic diner-style fare since 1968
Chick Bo-Bao, an Asian fusion spot specializing in Korean chicken wings, corn dogs and bubble tea
Zesto, an Omaha staple known for its soft-serve ice cream
Finicky Frank’s, offering a selection of New American plates and hand-crafted cocktails
Alpine Inn, a favorite for fried chicken
Folks come from all over the city to dine at the Alpine Inn, where they can watch the raccoons that often hang around outside the restaurant. For groceries, there’s a Baker’s supermarket and pharmacy on North 30th Street.

Florence residents have access to the Omaha Metro bus system.
Some streets are walkable, but cars are more convenient for commuting
Depending on your address, you might be able to walk to local parks, grocery stores and restaurants, but you’ll probably need a car for longer trips. Although Omaha Metro buses serve the area, it’s usually faster to drive. Interstate 680 runs along the neighborhood’s northern border, and U.S. Route 75 connects directly to Downtown Omaha, about 6 miles away.
The Omaha Public Schools district serves local families
The neighborhood is served by Omaha Public Schools. While students are assigned to specific schools based on their home address, the district’s choice program allows them to apply elsewhere, with placement based on available space. Florence Elementary School has deep roots in the community, with its first classes held in 1857. Students can move on to North High, a magnet school that offers Project Lead The Way courses in STEM fields such as engineering and computer science. Nearby private options include Roncalli Catholic High School, which receives a B-plus from Niche.

Comparing Florence to nearby North Omaha neighborhoods
Florence offers historic charm and a broad selection of homes at comparatively low prices, but the same is true of many North Omaha neighborhoods. Nearby Sherman, for example, has an even lower median home sale price, and residents enjoy access to water recreation on Carter Lake. However, the neighborhood is home to Eppley Airfield, which is convenient for frequent travelers but contributes to frequent airplane noise. For a more residential setting, you might consider Florence Boulevard, which is close enough to downtown that it’s possible to ride your bike there. However, since that’s a smaller neighborhood, it doesn’t have as many housing options, especially for buyers seeking larger homes on spacious lots.
