Market Snapshot
Renter Demand In Council Bluffs
Renters come to Council Bluffs for Google’s Council Bluffs data centers and casino and hospitality employers along the Missouri River, and commuter access to Omaha adds another layer of steady demand.
Across the river from downtown Omaha, Council Bluffs functions as part of the Omaha metro while offering lower-cost housing. Much of its apartment supply is older and modest in scale, appealing to renters who work on both sides of the Missouri.
In Twin City and Lake Manawa as much as Downtown Council Bluffs, we are open to buildings with deferred maintenance, below-market rents, or occupancy problems.
