We\u2019ve looked at a few well-known communities in the area for our Community of the Month series \u2014 such as Papillion<\/a> and Dundee<\/a> \u2014 and gave you a guide for enjoying Council Bluffs to the fullest<\/a>. But we can\u2019t forget our smaller residential communities and all of the unique offerings and opportunities that they hold.
\nThat\u2019s why we want to narrow our focus to the residential area surrounding Zorinsky Lake, just west of Omaha.
\n<\/p>\n

The Zorinsky Lake area<\/a> is our community of the month for March!<\/h2>\n

 
\nWe want to focus on three aspects of this area that we admire most \u2014\u00a0its recreational<\/strong> opportunities, local restaurants<\/strong> and residential<\/strong> benefits. We\u2019ll call them \u201cThe Three Rs of the Zorinsky Lake Area\u201d.<\/p>\n

Explore Zorinsky Lake Park<\/h2>\n

Zorinsky Lake Park is one of the area\u2019s most popular recreational areas, with its 255-acre fishing lake surrounded by 770 acres of public access land. A portion of this area is dedicated to wildlife management and the rest holds playgrounds, picnic areas, baseball diamonds, soccer fields, hiking and biking trails and a fishing dock.
\n\"Lake
\nTake a paddleboard tour<\/a>\u00a0and make a day of it exploring all the Zorinsky Lake has to offer! Or, if you prefer, the park also has\u00a0an aquatic center with slides, water sprays and a zero-depth entry outdoor pool. This is a state-of-the-art facility perfect for enjoying water activities in a different way than what you\u2019ll get at the lake itself.
\n\"Paddleboarding
\nZorinsky Lake Park is also home to the Bauermeister Prairie, which is one of the few native tall grass prairies remaining in eastern Nebraska. It houses 120 species of plants, birds and wildlife. With its dedication to wildlife management, it\u2019s clear that Lake Zorinsky is passionate about natural preservation.
\nThe lake itself is a large water mass stocked with lots of fish you can catch from their fishing dock or in a boat. Whether you\u2019re fishing, paddling a canoe, or simply enjoying the lake scenery from the shore, you will have a peaceful experience due to the lake\u2019s no-wake boating policy.<\/p>\n

Grab a Bite to Eat<\/h2>\n

After burning some calories swimming at the Zorinsky pool, paddling across the lake, or going on a bike ride around its perimeter, you\u2019ll need to replenish your body with a wonderful meal. Thankfully, there are several restaurants nearby to visit on your way out of town.
\nWave Bistro<\/a> is a family-owned restaurant offering Asian- and European-influenced dishes. Check out their lunch<\/a> and dinner<\/a> menus, with diverse offerings from seafood to pad thai.
\n\"Lake
\nCharlie\u2019s on the Lake<\/a> is not on Lake Zorinsky, as you might assume. Instead, it is overlooking a smaller body of water just down the road. This seafood restaurant received The Best of Omaha awards for Best Seafood and Best Martini in 2012<\/a>, and their quality has not changed ever since!
\nWind down with a drink from Upstream Brewing Company<\/a>, located just a few minutes from Lake Zorinsky. In fact, you can also grab a full meal<\/a> to accompany your brew of choice<\/a> or glass of wine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Make Yourself at Home<\/h2>\n

After such a serene and relaxing day visiting this area, you might be interested in the residential statistics of this area. The amenities of this community have attracted a wide range of people, resulting in a diverse economic makeup.
\n\"Lake
\nHome prices surrounding Lake Zorinsky range from $200,000 to over 1 million dollars, so it\u2019s likely you\u2019ll find a home<\/a> to fit your price range. The styles vary as well, but you\u2019ll find a lot of well-built, traditional, brick homes.
