Every year the Street of Dreams draws in people from all over the region (and country) to view a showcase of the best of the best in custom home building. A one-of-a-kind event where all the homes are on a single site that has been going strong since the 80s (Yes, since the 80s!). Visitors will get to see the latest trends in design, home construction, home technology, and other innovations.

And even if you’ve been before, no two Street of Dreams are alike and so you can expect something new in this upcoming Street of Dreams.

Attendance Tips for 2019 Street of Dreams

Don’t want to fight crowds? Want to make an efficient trip? Here are some insider tips to the Street of Dreams.

• Weekends are always the busiest so plan for a weekday if possible.
• Since it’s during football season, non-Football fans are encouraged to go during game time to avoid the crowds. (Don’t worry Husker fans, they’re still open on Sundays)
• Plan for at least 90 minutes to tour the homes. Sure, you can rush through and get it done under an hour, but I encourage you to take your time so you don’t miss out on all the features.
• Wear comfortable shoes that are easy to slip on/off. There’s a bit of walking involved and you have to take your shoes off in each home so leave the high laced boots at home.
• Take advantage of the free golf carts rides. If you can’t find a nearby parking spot, don’t worry! You can usually park far and as you head towards the event there will be people driving golf carts who can give you a ride down.
• While kids are welcome to come, they usually don’t get as excited as their parents. I recommend you find a sitter and turn it into a date night.
