Livestock Commons sits in the old Livestock Exchange Building at 4920 South 30th Street in Omaha, right in the Burlington Road area, and you can tell it's kept its historic roots since it dates back to 1926 with Romanesque Revival and Italian Renaissance details still showing after all these years, and people who care about easy interstate or bus rides will like how close it is to the JFK Freeway and downtown, plus it's right by public transit so that's handy for getting around. The apartments are made for folks 55 and older, offering studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, all with things people actually use like ceiling fans, walk-in closets, kitchen pantries, full kitchens with all the main appliances, wood-look floors, stackable washers and dryers, upgraded light fixtures, and window coverings, with safety bars set up in the bathrooms for extra support, and you can get elevator access, wheelchair access, and underground parking if needed, which helps with mobility and staying safe. Some rooms start at $3,689 a month for a studio and go up for larger units, and it seems many residents like the place with plenty of good reviews, so people are generally satisfied with how things run day to day.
Residents don't just live here--they get access to extra things like ultra-high speed internet from Cox Gigablast for staying connected, meal services with nutritious options, and places to gather like picnic areas, a fitness center for keeping active, and even event spaces up on the tenth floor, which include two sizeable ballrooms with tall ceilings, bars, stages, hardwood floors, and several private boardrooms that've seen some history over the decades. The building's long history as a mixed-use spot means it's always had different types of businesses inside, and now that tradition continues with more than 100 apartments sitting alongside commercial and community spaces like a library, clinics, a Learning Community Center, and a health center, making it easy for folks to get care without having to leave the property.
The healthcare setup is pretty broad since there's an on-site medical clinic, pharmacy, dental care, behavioral health, a Quick Sick Clinic, women's health, pediatrics, internal medicine, WIC, prenatal care, and more, with dedicated outreach and services spread across several locations and even a mobile pharmacy for those who need it, plus transportation for eligible patients and an online portal for appointments and prescriptions, aiming to make things as smooth as possible for anybody living there. Livestock Commons does accept Section 8 tax credits and runs on a sliding fee scale for health services to help make things affordable, and the site itself offers protections for residents by following federal anti-discrimination laws including gender identity and orientation, so people from all walks of life should feel welcome. Maintenance is handled on-site, controlled access keeps things secure, and online rent payments are available for anyone who prefers to handle things digitally, while compliance and management teams oversee daily operations. For those who want a full care spectrum, there are options like Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, Adult Day Services, Home Health Care, and even Hospice Care, creating a steady setup for aging in place. Livestock Commons isn't fancy but offers straightforward, well-rounded living in a preserved and updated historic building for seniors who want community, amenities, and medical support all in one spot.
