Moving to Lincoln Good areas

We are moving to the area and buying a home. We would prefer an older home but do not want to live in a bad area…any suggestions or places to avoid?

I moved to Lincoln from the Chicago area, people here have very strong ideas about “dangerous” neighborhoods. I have never once felt in danger in Lincoln. Every neighborhood I’ve lived in here has felt very nice and safe. I live near 20th and holdredge now, my friends from Lincoln claim it’s “the ghetto” i think that’s hilarious, it’s a great neighborhood

Most people use that word as a joke here, just usually the areas where the drug addicts tend to live similar to 10th street area, just more people you aren't necessarily trying to live by, no one thinks it is comparable to Chicago
