A highly desirable Omaha community in close proximity to the city's top attractions
Just 2 miles west of downtown Omaha is Morton Meadows — a popular residential neighborhood sandwiched between Leavenworth Street and Center Street. Founded in 1924, Morton Meadows has since become a highly desirable community in proximity to many of Omaha's top attractions. It also neighbors the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Omaha VA Medical Center, which both serve as major employers in the area. "It's a great mix of old and young and people from all walks of life. A lot of young families, a lot of dogs, a lot of kids. It's just a cool neighborhood," says local Realtor Nick Benner of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, who lives in the neighborhood and has sold over 100 homes around the Omaha metropolitan area. "We have a lot of bars and restaurants and parks and a lot of things that are near us that really make it appealing."
Just to the East of Morton Meadows you can find the Omaha VA Hospital.

Walk to the vibrant food scene in the Blackstone district
Good eats are only a quick drive — or walk — away. Bronco's is a local staple for a burger and fries while The Blackstone Meatball offers a beefy menu filled with meatball-infused entrees. Noli's is another community favorite for its specialty New York-style pizzas and cocktails. "Omaha has a great food scene," Benner says. "A lot of people are taken aback when they hear that, but it has just an awesome food scene throughout the city, and Morton Meadows is close to a ton of them." Residents can also pick up essentials from the nearby Hy-Vee Grocery Store off Center Street for a home-cooked meal. There is also a Baker's stationed on Saddle Creek Road while a Walmart Neighborhood Market sits a mile to the north. Additional retail shops and restaurants can be found on Farnam Street less than a mile north.
The Blackstone district is a few minutes from Morton Meadows and offers many eating options.
