The Cotner Center Community

Cotner Center was the first 55-plus independent living community in Lincoln, Nebraska.  The Cotner Center Condominium Association of Co-Owners was Incorporated in 1986 as a Nebraska not-for-profit Homeowners Association. Membership is comprised of active, 55+ Condominium Home Owners. Cotner Center is also a Federally designated “Housing for Older Persons” (HOPA) property.  

Cotner Center Owners have the opportunity to be part of a special community. Participation in activities and interaction with your neighbors can provide a fulfilling experience as well as a sense of well-being.   To help you get established, and feel at home, an Owner that volunteers for the Welcoming Committee will take you under their wing to show you around your new home.  Owners are encouraged to volunteer for committees or other activities to help strengthen our community.  

It is important to note that Cotner Center is NOT an assisted-living facility. 

The Community is a 55-plus active, and independent living environment. 

Located in northeast Lincoln, the Bethany area has always been a convenient place to live.  There is a special vitality here that gives it a small town feeling with all the advantages of a larger city.

Within a three block area, several fine businesses and services can be found, including Bethany Christian Church, Bethany Branch Public Library, restaurants, a full service garage, a service station and mini mart, beauty shops, barber shops, an antique store, dentists, pharmacies, a chiropractor’s office, a vision clinic, and a hearing aid service and a bakery across the street.  

One-half-mile down 70th is Meadowlane shopping center. Meadowlane hosts a hardware store, shops and restaurants, and a yoga studio.  One mile south is Gateway and East Park Plaza Malls; each Mall has a variety of shops, and eateries. East Park Plaza also has a movie theater. The thriving commercial center, just over a mile east, at 84th and Holdrege offers too many conveniences to list.
