Dundee, Omaha

Having never lived in Dundee, this review is primarily based on the business district. The main street, Underwood Ave, is just a few blocks north of Dodge. To get there you will drive past a number of magnicent homes that date back 100 years. The first thing you'll notice as you approach Dundee from the west on Underwood is that the business district starts on 51st street and stretches a couple of blocks. This is an extremely walkable area with several bars and restaurants on the street so park the car and take a walk. This is easily one of my favorite streets in the city and it's great for a night out. You can park, grab a bite at one of the many great restaurants (Mark's for example), get a drink or two (might I recomend the Dundee Dell), get some ice cream (eCreamery is just steps away). If you want to get a cup of cofee, walk five blocks to the south on 50th street for Dunde Double Shot Coffee. From there, its just a few more steps to the east to catch a flick at the restored Dundee Theatre. Now that we've got that out of the way, I will say, I've always wanted to live in Dundee. We toured several houses and made a few unsuccesful offers on a few. Just keep in mind that competition is intense in Dundee as it may be the most desirable neighborhood in the city. So if this where you want to live, be prepared!

I've lived in the general Dundee area my entire life. What can I say other than I love it here? It's one of Omaha's only walkable neighborhoods, with an array of great businesses open during all hours of the day. There's a diverse group of people who live here as well -- from college kids in run down apartments to seniors in government housing to families dwelling in the many well-kept large brick homes.My suggestion: Take a walk on 51st Street towards Underwood Avenue, hit up Le Quartier for a snack and then head to A.B.'s for a soda. Swing back towards your destination along 50th Street and just enjoy the serene beauty of Dundee in any season.
