Get a local Realtor. Matter of fact get a young new to the business Realtor. They will know where it is happening and their work will be looked over by the Broker.

Sounds like you are going from one extreme to another. If i were you I would consider taking up golf, join a golf club, or an outward bound club, hiking, extreme sports, whatever you really really enjoy so that you can meet likeminded people. This is a chance for you to learn other aspects of living, I don't know where Omaha is but if it is rural, you might learn something new about rural life, environment, home grown stuff, etc. Sounds like an exciting change. Anway, at 45 you might enjoy the slower pace, compared to a downtown situation... Sorry if this sounds rude, don't mean it to be, I wish you well and lots of fun n happiness.

Welcome to Omaha. I have been to Chicago a few times, and would rather live in Omaha, myself- but it is a somewhat different experience. There is a lot of housing in the downtown area, near the Old Market, that is quite cool, and new stuff going up in the North Downtown area (NoDo) near the Qwest Auditorium and where the new baseball stadium is going. Another good choice would be the western edge of the city, about 170th and Dodge or so, near the Village Pointe developments- the 'cutting edge' of the city. If you want a more 'neighborhood' feel, try - Aksarben/UNO/Elmwood park area- around 60th from Dodge to Center Streets - Dundee, around 60th and Cass area - Field Club, 38th and Woolworth areas - Keystone, between 72nd and 90th, Fort to Maple - Med Center/Mutual area- 40th to 60th around Farnam St. If you've got some bucks, try- - Fairacres, 60th to 72nd along Cass St. - Regency, south of the Westroads - Eagle Run or the areas around any of the big golf courses along the 120th to 160th stretch from about Fort to Center However, I'd bet that the local office you work for can help more than we can!

I just got home from a layover in Omaha (flight attendant) and I really enjoyed myself there. It is a BIG difference from the huge city of Chicago...but it is a very cute area. The area by Old Town has a bunch of cute little shops, nice restaurants, and the path along the river is just beautiful. The Qwest Center is just down the road from there, and they have a lot of concerts/events. It will most likely be a culture shock for a little while, but I'm sure you will adjust!!
