Once known as "The Magic City," South Central Omaha is now a suburb
The history of many Omaha neighborhoods includes both rapid development and historic preservation. South Central Omaha was completely rural until the 1880s. Cattle baron Alexander Hamilton Swan changed that when he established one of the first stockyards. As jobs were plentiful and demand great, homes were quickly built to welcome waves of immigrants from Greece, Italy, Spain, Lithuania and Bulgaria. The pace of growth was so rapid that it earned the nickname “The Magic City”. At its peak, the area housed nearly 40,000 residents, whereas today there are about 3,000. If you want to live close to downtown and be surrounded by the sights and sounds of a diverse neighborhood you just might be delighted by the heart of “The Magic City”.
Walkable streets where turn-of-century charm meets mid-century style
While immigrants continued to arrive and then moved onto western neighborhoods, South Central Omaha still honors much of its early history. Its lively parks, the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, historic Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches and a few hundred historic homes are protected and preserved without reservation. In keeping with a historic neighborhood, you’ll find an assortment of home styles and ages from turn-of-the-20th century cottages and bungalows, to mid-century modern ranch-style homes and split-levels. You can find well-updated cottages from the 1930s for about $190,000 to $230,000. Four-bedroom split-levels from the 1970s can be found from $210,000 to $240,000 depending on the condition and location of the home. Most properties sit on tree-lined streets with sidewalks.
Students can attend school in the Omaha Public Schools system
Gateway Elementary offers prekindergarten through sixth grade. It's a dual language school, and is notable for offering a mobile dental clinic and onsite vision screening in partnership with Children’s Hospital. R. M. Mars Magnet Middle provides fifth through eighth grade and also features a dual language program. Omaha South High School is the only high school in the neighborhood, although Bryan High is nearby in the Bellevue neighborhood. There are also several private schools in and around the city of Omaha that serve kindergarten through twelfth grade.
