Cheney, a quiet pocket of countryside on the edge of Lincoln, offers room to breathe while keeping city conveniences within easy reach. Tucked into rolling landscape in Lancaster County, it’s a spot where sunrise skies and open fields frame daily life, yet coffee, groceries, and major employers are a short drive away along the Highway 2 corridor.
Weekends here skew outdoorsy. Anglers cast lines and paddleboarders skim the water at Holmes Lake Park, maintained by Lincoln Parks & Recreation, while a few minutes farther south bring you to the prairie shoreline and trails of Wagon Train State Recreation Area. Nearby small-town main streets in Hickman and Bennet add local diners, seasonal festivals, and community ballfields to the mix, giving residents a choice of low-key outings without heading downtown.
Families appreciate practical school options: many addresses in and around Cheney fall within Lincoln Public Schools, while others are served by Norris School District 160—both known for strong academics, robust activities, and well-supported sports programs. Housing runs the gamut from acreage properties with space for gardens and workshops to newer builds taking shape alongside southeast Lincoln’s growth, creating opportunities for first-time buyers and move-up households alike.
Whether you’re aiming to sell a homestead or find the right place with elbow room, Agent Pronto can introduce buyers and sellers to experienced local real estate agents who know Cheney and its surrounding market.
