Hello all,

My husband and I currently live in Denver and are planning on relocating to North Platte. My husband is going to be working for UP. I have never been to North Platte but after being born and raised in Denver, I am really ready to live in a small town and start a family. Just curious as to what the job market is like there. I am currently an resident manager for a 276 unit property in SE Denver and for another 36 unit property downtown. Curious as to how many if any apartment communities are in North Platte and what the employment rate is. Just trying to get an idea for what I will be able to do for employment and really just anything about North Platte in general.

Thanks

I used to live in North Platte for a short time. There are not many apartment complexes. There are a few, but are ran by realty places. Compared to Denver, North Platte will be small but its pretty easy to learn and get around in. As for job opportunities, not a whole lot. Depending on your qualifications you may find something as I moved a year ago from there, there could be something new. For a city of its size, there isnt really much to do there. There is Cody Go-Carts which has bumper cars and go carts and on the north side of town is a park with elk, peacocks, geese, deer, and other animals in it. NebraskaLand Days in June is about the most exciting.

yellowbook.com list about 19. Pacific Place Apartments seems to be the largest. looks nice also they were previewed on the web. Elms Lodge Apartment and Liberty House kinda look like a half way house. The State Patrol web page has a list for Sex offenders, 33 currently live in North Platte and at least two live at these two listings. Like you, My family is looking at the move. If in your web searchs you come across items of interest please send them to me. We will not be making the move untill school is out.

I have lived in North Platte for 17 years. There are many opportunities here as far as jobs/housing etc. I work at Western Insurors and would be happy to point you in the right direction with whatever you need.

Cool Hello

Sorry its taken me so long to post a reply. Thank you all for your help and ideas. My husband will be moving out there this weekend and starting his job on the 4th. I'm not quite sure when im going to be able to move out there as we are currently in a lease that doesnt end until July 15th, but we are hoping that we may be able to get out of it early. I've come across quite a few jobs in North Platte that I am qualified for and not necessarily in the apt industry. The one thing i have been having problems with is finding listings for house for rent. We have a lg dog and a cat and do NOT want to live in an apt. If anyone knows of any good websites to check out regarding houses or even duplexes for rent please let me know. I can't wait to be an official Nebraska resident!!!

GO BIG RED!!!

On a side note.....I have been looking to see if there are any bars/clubs in North Platte that do Karaoke and I'm not seeing any. Is there any place there that does karaoke? I'm going to go crazy if I cant go sing!!!

Try the North Platte Telegraph, North Platte Telegraph - News - Area News. You might also try to call some of the realtors in town to see if the have any. Can't help you with the karaoke but I'm sure its out there somewhere.

Hello!
I had also posted here awhile back regarding North Platte. My husband works out of North Platte, but we reside in New York. We will be also moving there this summer (May-June, as our lease is up July 1st).
I have found this site and this agency to be very helpful:
http://www.cisnorthplatte.com/residential_leasing.htm
I have spoken with them on the phone as well, and Tracy was very helpful.
As the other forum member mentioned the North Platte Bullitin. I also have been keeping an eye on that site. They have quite a few rentals listed most days.
Good Luck- I hope all goes well with your move.

Default Lots of home listings in North Platte

Saw that some of you were looking for a home in North Platte but were having trouble because you were moving from out of state.

When I bought my house I used NebraskaHouseMap.com ... It is pretty cool... it is kind of like sites like trulia.com, but it is just for Nebraska. I definitely had more luck here because they have listings from all kind of companies.

Good luck!
