Vinton Street
Neighborhood in Omaha, Nebraska
Douglas County 68105, 68108
The long-standing Vinton Street homes
Skirting the edges of downtown Omaha, the homes in Vinton Street share blocks with local businesses, with residents in walking distance of the nearest corner market or clothing boutique. Houses in Vinton Street have weathered the years, many dating back to the early 1900s. Common architectural styles along the narrow sidewalks include the ever-classic bungalows and original Tudor brick cottages, concrete steps built into the small hillsides of front yards. While many homes have been well-maintained or restored, some could not be salvaged – and in empty lots, small contemporary properties have been built. Older homes that need restoration can start as low as $100,000, and the price goes up with square footage and how new or restored a property is. Still, it hardly ever exceeds $250,000, much lower than the Omaha single-family average of $315,000.

Getting active around Vinton Street
At the north of the neighborhood is James F. Lynch Park, which covers 15 acres and provides a reliable spot for outdoor recreation. It has several athletic fields, and residents use the tennis and basketball courts for lively games. There’s a playground for the children and a connected skate park for those who feel bold enough to venture out on skateboards. Many will head to the west of Vinton Street and hop onto the Field Club Trail, nearly 2 miles of paved pathway stretching past the art-adorned Omaha Grain Silo site.Pathways to education
Vinton Street is served by the district of Omaha Public Schools, and children can start their education at Castelar Elementary, graded with a C-minus on Niche. The school regularly hosts Family Night, where they invite family of the students to work on projects and tackle learning games. Children move on to Norris Middle, graded with another C-minus, before finishing basic education at Omaha South Magnet High. Graded with an overall C-plus but an A-minus for activities, Omaha South Magnet has an extensive and diverse selection of extracurriculars, especially for STEM.

Community united by the arts
A staple for the community and source of many neighborhood events, Reformed Studio and Assembly Space is a performance studio and exhibition site off 20th Street. Using the building of a decommissioned church, music concerts, art shows, community potlucks and more all take place beneath restored stained glass windows and atop original wood flooring.
Navigating Omaha
Vinton Street is bordered by the major thoroughfares of Interstate 80 and Interstate 480, both of which are crucial to zipping around Omaha and getting residents downtown within 10 minutes. The Omaha metro bus system has several stops on nearly all main streets of the neighborhood, and it connects to downtown Omaha and outlying suburbs.For the love of local on the namesake road
Following the namesake road – Vinton Street – residents can find all their daily essentials, and many businesses in the area are locally owned and operated. There are a few recognizable chain stops, like AutoZone and Walgreens, but most shops and restaurants are unique to the neighborhood. The aisles of Family Fare Supermarket stay busy as people shop for groceries; the best slices of tres leche cake come from Nietos Pasteleria, and Louie M’s Burgerlust has been doling out hearty Americana breakfast and lunch in their diner since 1980.
