Hillsborough Homes for Rent

Hillsborough, the largest neighborhood in Omaha, Nebraska, with over 11,000 homes, fosters a strong community spirit through the Hillsborough Association of Land Owners, which organizes various events and beautification projects. The neighborhood features tight streets lined with sidewalks shaded by old-growth trees, and homes primarily consist of Brick Colonial Revivals and Craftsman styles, often with well-maintained front yards and fenced-in backyards. Hillsborough is safer than the national average, with a CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10. The area is within walking distance of its zoned elementary and middle schools and includes Hillsborough Park, a 22-acre green space with a playground, a sprayground, and a paved walking trail. Golf enthusiasts can choose between the private Champions Run Club and the public Eagle Run courses. Standing Bear Lake, less than 2 miles north, offers fishing, no-wake boating, and hiking and biking trails. The Eagle Run Shopping Center, within walking distance for some residents, includes a Baker’s grocery store, Kohl’s, HomeGoods, Target, and popular dining spots like Wave Bistro and Blue Sushi. Hillsborough is conveniently located along Nebraska Highway 64, providing a 12-mile commute to downtown Omaha and access to Interstate 680, which leads to Omaha Eppley Airfield, 17 miles away. The neighborhood is also about 6 miles from CHI Health Lakeside hospital. However, potential buyers should be aware of the risk of extreme weather, including severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and flooding, particularly along North 138th Street and the western edge of the park.
