I will be working on elm in the 68130 area code, i think that is southwest omaha.

In chicago, I lived in the north side of the city along lake michigan, so i got both the wind and the cold but i was located near the train and easy access to the highway. Omaha's winter won't bother me that much, i've gone through worst with chicago.

ideally, I love to drive no more than 30 minutes to work and live in an area that has stuff to do and is somewhat family oriented. I know that might be hard to find but i just want my wife to be close to shops and groceries while we are here.

We are looking into a lot of lofts, condos, and townhouses in omaha but i prefer a big space. i guess we will narrow it down when we get there. Although i do like the rows at sama but they have chicago real estate prices on those.

Thanks again for all your feedback.

Usually you can get anywhere in the city in 20 minutes or less, 68130 is in SW Omaha (I live in that zipcode) I love the area!! a newer and very nice area with very nice shopping and dining...
