With its old-growth shade trees and 100-year-old refurbished homes, the Midtown neighborhood of Omaha combines a sense of old-world charm with proximity to downtown and the University of Nebraska-Omaha, both of which are directly east of the neighborhood. Within Midtown Omaha, many renters opt for the smaller neighborhood of Midtown Crossing, a 16-acre development that mixes apartments, restaurants, and shops for a true live-work-play environment.
Many residents choose Midtown Omaha for its short commute time to the University of Nebraska Medical Center and other downtown destinations. After taking a stroll under the expansive trees of Midtown, head to Turner Park to enjoy Jazz on the Green concerts or stop at some of Omaha's finest restaurants for a bite. Residents head to the Grey Plume in Midtown Crossing for its innovative menu or the Crescent Moon Ale House to enjoy its friendly pub atmosphere.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
