Clearwater balances wide-open skies with a strong sense of community, offering small-town living with thoughtful amenities and room to grow. Set within the rolling prairies of Antelope County and minutes from the services of Neligh, it’s a place where Friday night ballgames, river sunsets, and neighborly help are part of everyday life. Outdoor lovers enjoy access to the Elkhorn River corridor, and families make easy day trips to the remarkable Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park, an internationally known window into ancient Nebraska, cared for by the University of Nebraska State Museum team at Ashfall.
Education is a centerpiece here. Students attend the consolidated and well-supported Summerland Public Schools, which offer modern facilities, robust activities, and community partnerships. Healthcare needs are met by Antelope Memorial Hospital in nearby Neligh, and residents tap into additional shopping, employers, and dining in regional hubs like Norfolk and O'Neill. For career advancement and dual-credit opportunities, Northeast Community College provides respected programs and workforce training within an easy drive.
Housing spans classic farmsteads, modest in-town homes, and acreage properties, often with generous lots and value that’s hard to match. Whether you’re relocating for family, work, or a quieter pace, Clearwater rewards involvement—at school events, local festivals, and volunteer efforts that keep the town moving forward. When it’s time to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a top real estate professional who knows Clearwater inside and out.
