About Elm Creek

Elm Creek offers a relaxed, small-town setting just fifteen minutes west of Kearney along Highway 30 and I-80. Home to around a thousand people, it is a tight-knit Buffalo County village where neighbors look out for one another and daily life centers around the local school. Late summer brings everyone together for Buffalo Stampede Days, an annual weekend festival complete with a hometown parade, food stands, and an evening street dance. It is an easygoing spot for anyone wanting quiet neighborhood living with a quick commute to city jobs and conveniences.
