Ord sits along the North Loup River in Valley County, where prairie horizons meet everyday convenience. Sunsets spill across the Sandhills, and the North Loup’s gentle bends invite kayaking, tubing, and quiet morning walks. Weekends often point toward Calamus Reservoir State Recreation Area near Burwell for boating, beaches, and trophy fishing. Downtown Ord blends historic brick storefronts with new ideas — cozy cafés, boutiques, and the Golden Husk’s live performances — while community calendars fill with parades, youth sports, and farmers markets.
Families value Ord Public Schools, offering strong academics, career and technical education, and competitive athletics. Quality care is close to home through Valley County Health System. Outdoor amenities include riverside trails, a modern aquatic center, and a scenic municipal golf course. Commuters and day-trippers can reach Kearney and Grand Island in about an hour for major shopping, air travel, and university events, while local employers support a diverse economy in agriculture, healthcare, and small manufacturing. A strong volunteer spirit shows up in clean parks, packed bleachers, and well-run civic events. Housing ranges from classic craftsman homes near the square to new builds on spacious lots, with space to garden, play, and grow.
Whether you’re ready to put down roots or planning a move across town, Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with experienced local real estate agents who know Ord and make every step easier.
