First time home buyer in Lincoln

Hey everyone, With a population of 51,629, Lincoln is a smaller city. The unemployment rate is 2.3%, which is pretty low. The suburbs are where most families end up. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Does this match your experience?

We moved here with our family and I love the pace of life here. Schools in Westside area are hit or miss. Kids love it here.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value safety, you'll love it. The pet-friendliness is genuinely underrated and I've found it's improved dramatically in recent years. My neighborhood (Downtown) is pricey and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Charlotte, be prepared for the culture shock. walkability is completely different here. And Not a lot of cultural diversity.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
