Last updated 2026-07-10 ยท MovePlan Editorial Team
State capital and Husker town, with cheap housing and a downtown that empties on football Saturdays.

- Median 2BR rent: $1,200/mo
- Typical local mover cost: $750-$2,400
- Popular neighborhoods: Near South, Country Club, Eastridge, Piedmont, Williamsburg
Memorial Stadium home games turn Lincoln into Nebraskas third-largest city for a day. Never schedule a move on a Husker Saturday.
Climate: Hot humid summers, cold snowy winters.
