Centered on historic University Place, 68504 blends tree-lined streets, classic bungalows, and student energy from Nebraska Wesleyan University. Expect four true seasons—warm, sunny summers and snowy, brisk winters—ideal for cozy coffee runs to Mo Java or strolls through University Place Park and Roper Park. The Murdock Trail cuts across the neighborhood for easy biking and jogging, and pets are welcome on its shaded stretches.

Daily needs are convenient, with Hy-Vee and Super Saver along O Street, local thrift and antique nooks, and quick access to the broader retail of Gateway Mall nearby. You’ll find casual bites, neighborhood pubs, and weekend farmers’ market options, plus yoga and fitness studios within a short drive. Recent Zillow market trends show the area’s median rent hovering in the low $1,100s, with most listings ranging roughly $800–$1,400 over the past few months. Overall, the vibe is friendly and practical—popular with students, young professionals, and long-time residents, and notably family- and pet-friendly.
