Dundee: Omaha’s Historic & Walkable Gem

If you’re looking for a neighborhood with historic charm, walkability, and a strong sense of community, Dundee might be the perfect fit. Located just minutes from downtown Omaha, this tight-knit neighborhood is known for its tree-lined streets, unique local businesses, and beautiful early 1900s homes. Let’s take a closer look at what makes Dundee one of Omaha’s most desirable places to live.

🏡 A Neighborhood with Character

Dundee is a neighborhood filled with character and history. The area is home to a mix of 1.5-story, 2-story, and 2.5-story houses, many built in the early 1900s. You’ll find brick Tudors, Craftsman-style homes, and some newer construction condos and townhomes built within the last five years.

While these older homes provide plenty of charm and craftsmanship, they also come with maintenance considerations, making Dundee a great choice for those who appreciate historic homes and don’t mind a little upkeep. The median home price in Dundee is around $350K, with properties ranging up to $930K.

Dundee is also conveniently located right off Dodge Road, making it easy to commute downtown in just 10 minutes or hop onto I-680 to access other parts of the city.

🌳 Parks & Outdoor Spaces

For those who love the outdoors, Dundee is close to some of Omaha’s best parks. Memorial Park is a local favorite, featuring walking paths, open green space, and the beautiful Rose Garden. There’s also a connector trail leading to Elmwood Park, giving residents plenty of options for outdoor activities.
