Thirty miles northwest of Omaha, Fremont is a small and historic city on the north bank of the Platte River. While fairly secluded on the map, the city’s small-town charm and relatively close proximity to Omaha have made Fremont an increasingly popular choice for commuters. The thriving Downtown business district features block after block of preserved vintage buildings housing everything from government offices to specialty shops to restaurants and taverns. On the north side, the Fremont Mall anchors a large cluster of shopping centers. The small Midland University sits at the center of town, and the surrounding neighborhoods are full of rental options within easy walking distance for students, faculty, and staff members.
