Dundee
Walkable shops and dining surrounded by classic early twentieth-century homes.
Welcome to Dundee + Happy Hollow
Dundee and Happy Hollow pair historic homes, tree-lined streets, neighborhood businesses, and a central location with a character that is hard to reproduce in newer parts of the city.
The Dundee business district, Happy Hollow Boulevard, Memorial Park, and nearby Fairacres form a connected collection of coveted central Omaha settings.
Buyers come for craftsmanship and place. The tradeoff is that age, renovation history, garage size, and lot configuration matter more here than in a typical newer subdivision.
Housing + market character
What the homes tell you.
Tudor, Colonial, Craftsman, brick, and revival-style homes are common, often with original millwork and mature landscaping.
A polished presentation can hide old systems. Sewer, electrical, plumbing, foundation, roof, windows, and the quality of additions should be evaluated carefully.
Daily life
What it feels like to live here.
Locally owned restaurants, coffee, neighborhood events, Memorial Park, and easy access to UNO and the medical district define the rhythm.
Many residents can walk for a meal or coffee, a relative rarity in the metro.
Getting around
How the area connects.
Dodge Street, Underwood Avenue, Happy Hollow Boulevard, and 52nd Street make east-west and north-south travel direct.
The central location keeps downtown, midtown, and west Omaha within practical reach.
Schools + boundaries
Verify the address, not the assumption.
The area is generally within Omaha Public Schools, with private-school options nearby. Attendance boundaries still require address-level verification.
Historic district or preservation considerations may apply to certain properties or exterior projects.
