Residential developments reflect a mix of home styles
Community-centered property development is making waves in Highlander-Long School. The modern mix of townhomes, row houses and community enrichment amenities known as Highlander is one of the newest additions. Spearheaded by Seventy Five North, it brings residents together through a shared swimming pool, green spaces, playground, community center and garden. Another mixed-use residential and retail development is in the works for the corner of North 24th and Lake. Totaling upwards to $80 million, it will be the biggest investment North Omaha has seen. Most houses in Highlander-Long School reflect small minimal traditionals with wood paneling and small to modest-sized yards where large, leafy trees cast shadows over sidewalks worn by winter and time. A three-bedroom move-in ready home recently sold here for $82,000. Home prices may rise to $180,000 in this area, but rarely exceed this. They also generally sell within 17 days — faster than the national average of 39.

Stroll along the North Omaha Trail
For a green space, “Adams Park is not too far and it’s an extension of the North Omaha Trail,” Starks says. The park is located 1 mile or a 25-to-30-minute walk away from the neighborhood's center. It also has a community center that hosts fitness classes and Karaoke for seniors. The trail it connects to is 2 miles long and serves as a critical resource for community members, not only for its health and wellness benefits, but also as it’s a safe passage from 31st to 24th Street.On-demand online tutoring for Omaha Public Schools students
Students in Highlander-Long School are served by the Omaha Public Schools district. Along its pipeline they may attend Kennedy Elementary School, Monroe Middle School and Benson Magnet High School. The elementary school earns a C rating from Niche, the middle school a C-minus rating and the high school scores a B-minus. Students that study within Omaha Public School district have access to on-demand online tutoring platform that provides support on 200 subjects.

North Omaha Legacy Tour travels from 24th to 30th Street
The North Omaha Legacy Tour allows everyone to explore the area's roots. Narrated by Preston Love Jr., the bus tour travels from 24th to 30th Street, making several stops at important locations, including The Great Plains Black History Museum. The nonprofit Seventy Five North Revitalization Corporation also regularly hosts enrichment programs for teens and kids — including music classes in partnership with Omaha Performing Arts. Culxr House on 24th Street is a dedicated cultural center for artists, musicians and activists. Neighbors also share a love for community gardening. “There is a slew of them between 24th and 30th Street,” Starks says.Area served by the Omaha Metro
As this area is relatively dense, the neighborhood has a solid walk score. It’s also served by Omaha Metro, which covers 100 square miles of North Omaha in total, offering fixed route, express/commuter, circulator and origin-to-destination bus services. The nearest airport is Eppley Airfield, 6 miles away via Abbot Drive. Traveling on foot, it’s easy to notice the colorful murals on Highlander-Long School’s streets depicting the vibrant spirit of the people who live here.Soul food fare at Big Mama's Kitchen
Big Mama’s Kitchen, a stop on the North Omaha Legacy Tour, is one of the best places to grab a bite to eat. “It’s true soul food. The owner makes her mother's recipes which have been carefully passed down,” Starks says. For boutiques and thrifting, locals visit Fair Deal Market on 24th Street which comprises 14 shipping containers repurposed into affordable micro-retail shops supporting local entrepreneurs. Supermercado Nuestra Familia is less than a mile away on Vincent Street and has a range of fresh produce and packaged goods. Downtown Omaha is also a mile from the neighborhood when locals want more options.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
