| Opportunity Kearney!! - 11/17/2011
Kearney is a wonderful community. It has grown exponentially in the last 15 years and continues to make smart decisions in its development. Check out the YouTube video Why We Chose Kearney for a start or any of the community websites. There is a vast medical network, awesome Park and Rec programs, a downtown planning effort, plays, concerts, hockey, football, basketball, many more sports, FARMERS MARKET, Housing is stable and continues to appreciate so you always come out ahead, unemployment rate below 3%, rail, interstate, central U.S. location, low crime, air service, great people, and a clean community. Honestly, I could not ask for anything more. There is so much more than what I've listed so if you are looking for a quality community where you can make it happen, try Kearney!![more...]

| Kearney, Nebraska - nation's midpoint - 7/18/2007
I agree with these comments from Community Profile by Kearney Area Chamber of Commerce:
"More than 30,000 people call the Kearney area home, and they enjoy an
enviable balance of urban amenities and Main Street America quality of life.
Kearney is the home of the University of Nebraska at Kearney, two major hospitals, regional shopping services, cultural and recreational attractions, excellent public and private schools (rated as Blue Ribbon schools by a national magazine), and numerous corporate headquarter companies. Great work ethic, great schools, great career opportunities, safe, secure, and affordable. A great quality of life! Kearney is the home many people have been dreaming about."

| The Best of the Good Life - 12/29/2006
I, too, am a lifelong resident of Kearney. But, unlike Carol (the poster who denounced Kearney), I recognize our hometown's high quality of life (as she will once she leaves). Sure, it's expensive, but it's true what they say, "You get what you pay for."
Kearney is a great city with a thriving and progressive economy (e.g., the Buckle, a multi-million dollar apparel company), a rich tradition of culture and fine arts (e.g., Museum of Nebraska Art, Merryman Performing Arts Center, Kearney Community Theatre, Trails and Rails Museum, the Great Platte River Road Archway Monument, and the University of Nebraska at Kearney, etc.), nationally and regionally renoun meedical clinics and hospitals (e.g., New West Sports Clinic and Good Samaritan Health Systems), quality schools (several elementary schools, three middle schools, two high schools, a community college, and a University), a unique variety of entertainment and eatery offerings surprising for a city of its size (e.g., First Tier Events Center, home of the Tri-City Storm and host to many other events and concerts--Disney on Ice, Larry the Cable Guy, Bob Dylan, to name a few), and I could go on and on and on.
The bottom line is that Kearney is a great place to live. Perhaps the best in Nebraska, and the best of "The Good Life."[more...]

| Don't live here if you want to break even or get a - 12/12/2006
I am a native of this town and cannot wait to get out! Housing is some of the highest in the state, taxes are 8th highest in the nation (last report I read), and professional job opportunities are few and far between. College town, as reflected by wages and high rent/cost of home ownership. Some cultural activites, but mostly sports and country music venue. Little interest in craftsmanship and quality of work.[more...]
