Page 1 of 14 Midtown Omaha, the area between Saddle Creek and 24th Street and Cumming Street and Center Street is best known for it's old world character and central location within Omaha. Most recently Midtown Omaha has become a region defined by economic growth and development creating growth in what was once a stagnant real estate market. Project Midtown is an effort to research and track the local neighborhood real estate market's within Midtown Omaha. 
Midtown Omaha With a steady population influx from large area employers, close proximity to downtown and strong revitalization efforts Midtown is an ideal location for economic growth. The national economy is also changing with gas prices continuing to rise. Cities like Omaha were built upon the old model of inexpensive gas and individual transportation, spreading out and creating a vast suburban sprawl without limits or boundaries. Already in some large cities a push to move back towards work has already started. With gas prices continuing to rise and no end in sight it is safe to assume in time Omaha will experience a similar type of change making Midtown a very desirable location for a population of employees looking to save on transportation costs.
