Highlander-Long School Homes for Sale

Highlander-Long School in North Omaha is a neighborhood rich in history and community spirit. Known for its historic North 24th Street, also referred to as "The Deuce," this area was once a vibrant hub for jazz, entrepreneurship and the arts. Efforts to revitalize the community and increase homeownership are important to the predominantly and historically Black neighborhood. The area is also undergoing a facelift with the development of a new complex called the Highlander, which features townhomes, row houses, a swimming pool, green spaces, a playground, a community center and a garden. Homes here are typically minimalistic Colonial Revivals, bungalows and Victorians with wood paneling and modest yards. Homes are reasonably priced for the area and sell quickly. Local attractions include the North Omaha Legacy Tour, the Great Plains Black History Museum and the Culxr House, a cultural center for artists and activists. Adams Park connects to the North Omaha Trail, a 2-mile recreational trail that provides a safe route through the community. Omaha Metro's extensive bus services enhance the neighborhood's walkability, and downtown Omaha is less than a mile away via U.S. Route 75, which cuts through the neighborhood. Dining options include Big Mama’s Kitchen, known for its soul food, and Fair Deal Market offers unique shopping experiences. Supermercado Nuestra Familia is nearby.
