According to the December 2018 article, This is the Best
Place to Live in Every State, published by Money Magazine,
Bellevue is the number one city to live in in Nebraska.
Bellevue, Nebraska
Population: 52,698
Median Household Income: $62,277
Median Home Listing Price: $253,813
The suburb now known as Bellevue originated as a fur trading post in
the early 1800s, a few decades after Lewis and Clark crossed through on
their expedition. More than a century and a half after the city’s
founding, business is still alive and well (though most of the fur traders
are long gone). As a suburb of Omaha, Bellevue is well within
commuting distance of the state’s largest city, a fact reflected in the 19
minutes it takes the average Bellevue resident to get to work. Those
relocating to the city for career purposes—as some likely will, since
Moody’s Analytics projects jobs will grow by 6.6% there over the next
four years—should see their paycheck stretch further here. Bellevue’s
median household income is $62,277, while homes are listed for an
average $253,813.
