Omaha has been called the "Paradise on the Plains" for its quality of life, which includes a low cost of living and a burgeoning cultural downtown. These factors make it attractive for seniors looking for assisted living in and around this city on the Missouri River. Let's take a closer look at what the city has to offer retirees.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Omaha's cost of living is 11% below the national average. The majority of this low number is derived from home prices - the median price is just $113,000. Taxes, however, are steeper than average, though lower than in recent years. The reason: a small population (1.8 million) pays for a large area (77,000 square miles) of roads and schools. Seniors can expect to pay between $1,500 to $3,000 for assisting living communities in the area depending on the type of care, location, and amenities.
So where do I live in Omaha? Here are some ideas: for seniors wanting the city life, check out the Midtown area. Midtown is home to a number of historic buildings, churches and hospitals. You'll also be close to restaurants, parks and other downtown amenities. Papillion is suburb city just to the south of downtown. Papillion has made Money magazine's list of "Best Places to Live" and it's easy to see why. Here you'll find 653 acres of parks including Halleck Park with its trails, open spaces, and a recreation area. The city also has two public golf courses and the new Sumpter Amphitheater, which hosts free movies, converts and wine tastings.
Downtown Omaha has undergone a Renaissance since the turn of the century. You'll find the 2,000 - seat, state-of-the-art Holland Performing Art Center; Lauritzen Gardens - a 100-acre botanical garden and bird sanctuary; the Durham Western Heritage Museum; the Gene Leahy Mall and many other amenities that make Omaha a modern jewel.
