Highlander-Long School Homes for Sale

Highlander-Long School in Omaha is experiencing a resurgence, thanks to reinvestment efforts aimed at revitalizing the neighborhood. North 24th Street, historically known as “The Deuce,” was a hub for jazz clubs and cafes in the 1940s and ’50s. Today, mixed-use projects are expanding commercial spaces and housing opportunities, and home prices often land below the citywide median. The area features a mix of early 1900s homes, newer ranch-style and two-story houses, modern townhomes and apartment complexes. Local nonprofit Seventy Five North is spearheading efforts to overcome disinvestment and reinvigorate the landscape. The Highlander community includes amenities like a swimming pool, community center, and green spaces. Another mixed-use development at North 24th and Lake is set to add new housing, retail and commercial space. Commuters enjoy convenient access to downtown Omaha, just 1.5 miles south. Although bus routes can take 20 to 25 minutes to reach downtown destinations, the Omaha Metro bus system is more convenient here than in many other parts of the city. Students can attend Omaha Public Schools. Central High, the oldest active high school in the city, is a short drive away and offers academic pathways in STEM, Global Arts and Leadership and Global Studies. Dining options include Jackson’s Fair Deal Cafe, Get-N-Go Fish and Big Mama’s Kitchen & Catering. Retailers like Haberdash O.N.E and LeFlore’s New Look Fashions, along with the Fair Deal Village Market Place, provide distinctive shopping experiences. Nearby Adams Park features trails, playgrounds, a pump track and a lagoon for outdoor time, and cultural landmarks such as The Great Plains Black History Museum and the Culxr House enrich the community with artistic and historical significance.
