South Lincoln, and specifically south of Hwy 2, is probably your best bet. The city has been focused on growth in that area for the last two decades. Your best shopping, restaurants and amenities are there, along with (generally) wider streets and convenience of commuting.
A lot of it depends on where you work. I would recommend NOT living in a place that puts your commute on 27th street. That street is a disaster during the morning and evening commute hours.
