Miles of original prairie grasses, sandy dunes, and the Platte River ribboning into the distance: anyone from Grand Island knows that hidden beauty exists in multitudes in the Great Plains, especially for those who know where to look for it. Grand Islanders have easy access to that beauty, both within the city and just outside of it, with biking and running trails throughout the city and a robust network of parks. Fixtures like the Stuhr Museum and restored Burlington Station make Grand Island's pioneer past impossible to forget, giving Grand Island a sense of place that both honors its past and embraces the future.

When you arrive in Grand Island, take the easy extra step of investing in an ADT monitored security system for your home. Greater peace of mind means more time to be present in your new home—and outside of it, as you visit the Island Oasis Water Park with the kids on the weekends, wander the trails of the Crane Trust watching for butterflies and graceful Sandhill Cranes, and enjoy live music at Railside. Come August, you'll be busy watching sea lions, pie eating contests, and maybe braving a stomach-dropping ride at the Nebraska State Fair. However you choose to enjoy your Grand Island life, you certainly won't be bored.
