Neatly trimmed lawns and blue skies abound in the Fox Run neighborhood and provide an air of quiet paired with modern convenience. “It’s close to downtown Omaha, and the community of Bellevue—which is home to Offutt Air Force Base,” says Andi Coziahr, Realtor with Better Homes and Gardens. Commuters enjoy their easy access to downtown Omaha, spending their workdays as civilian workers at the air force base or at one of the area’s major employers, like Mutual of Omaha, TD Ameritrade, Union Pacific or one of the many healthcare systems that also call Omaha home. At the same time, those with children value the Blue Ribbon Award-winning schooling available in the area. Only 6 miles away, Fox Run offers homes complete with fairway views of the semi-private Fox Run Golf Club. For the avid golfer, they can even get in a quick round before the sun goes down.
Modern housing in a well-planned community
Modern ranch-style and split-level homes define the growing Fox Run neighborhood. Featuring new construction that is laid out on a master plan, with a median build year of 2016, these residences offer modern appliances and fixtures, contemporary design and desirable features like walk-in closets and granite kitchen decor. “Many of the homes here are zero entry without basements which is not common in the area,” adds Coziahr, who points out that it makes for easy accessibility for people of all ages and abilities. Stone and brick facades line the streets, along with two- and three-car garages overlooking expansive driveways—with room for more vehicles, a trailer or even a boat. With a median sales price of $300,000, some smaller units with three bedrooms and two bathrooms can be found for as low as $250,000, while four-bedroom homes can go for $400,000. Condos are also available in the Turnbridge community, with two-bedroom, two-bathroom units going for around $150,000. Turnbridge, Fox Run, and the Seven are governed by separate HOAs.

Lewis Central – Blue Ribbon excellence
Students living in Fox Run can attend the Lewis Central School District. “I would say one of the biggest draws for Fox Run is the school district,” says Coziahr. They can start their learning at Kreft Primary, which serves preschool through first grade and Titan Hill Intermediate, which serves second through fifth grades. These schools earned a B and a B-minus rating from Niche, respectively. For grades six through eight, students move up to Lewis Central Middle School, which also received a B rating from Niche. To finish up, students can enroll at Lewis Central High School, which has a B-plus rating and was named a Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education in 2021 for academic excellence. Private school options in the region include institutions like Heartland Christian School or Liberty Christian School.

Car-dependent commutes to Downtown Omaha
While a stroll around the neighborhood is great exercise, and the roads double as low-traffic routes for bicycling, in the end Fox Run is extremely car-dependent. There is no public transit here and while U.S. Route 275 makes it convenient to get to Council Bluffs or Omaha, it is not safe for bicycling. Eppley Airfield, 10 miles from the neighborhood, provides service to cities throughout the country, but international travelers will have to make connecting flights. Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital in Council Bluffs and CHI Health Creighton University Medical Center provide emergency services, and both are roughly 7 miles away – generally under a 15 minutes' drive.
Doozie's does it on summer nights
The nearby commercial district in Council Bluffs is the destination for dining and shopping for Fox Run residents. With big-box retailers and hardware stores including Walmart, Target and The Home Depot; specialty stores such as PetSmart and Dick’s Sporting Goods; and a mix of chain and local restaurants, these one-stop shopping centers provide convenience. A little closer to home, Pizza Counter offers locally owned take-out options, pizza by the slice or by the whole pie; while Doozie’s, features burgers and other sandwiches—as well as 16 different homemade ice cream flavors, which has quickly made this the go-to spot to be on warm summer nights.
Nearby Pizza Counter is a simple yet delicious pizza joint.
A favorite for homemade meals and homey decor, Cracker Barrel is just down the street.

Enjoying Lake Manawa and golfing in the backyard
Lake Manawa State Park, only 3 miles away, is a 1,500 acre preserve perfect for boating, hiking, playing or simply relaxing. Kids can let their imaginations run free at the Dream Playground, which features play structures that give a nod to history, like one that resembles an oversized version of Lewis and Clark’s boat. Locals can access the Lake Manawa Trail or opt to stay the night at the park’s campground. From bluegill to catfish and bass, fishing is another popular outdoor activity here. If locals aren't up for boating, they can simply relax on the beach. Right behind the community of Fox Run, residents will find the semi-private Fox Run Golf Club, which features an 18-hole championship course. Just to the north, Council Bluffs Recreation Complex provides soccer and baseball fields, and is home to youth leagues.
Fox Run Golf Course features 18 holes of championship-level golf that encompasses many homes.
Many residents of Fox Run are members at the golf course right in their back yard.

Seasonal celebrations at Lake Manawa and in Council Bluffs
Residents of Fox Run will often head to Lake Manawa for the annual Fourth of July fireworks celebration, where it’s easy to get a great view of the show. Council Bluffs Public Library is host to events for young and old alike, from board game nights to crafting nights and more. Every May, the Council Bluffs community participates in the “Celebrate CB” community pride week, with an annual parade – it’s been a big part of community tradition for over half a century. Just over the border into Omaha, the CHI Health Center hosts major concerts and conventions and the Charles Schwab Field is the permanent home of the College World Series.
The Missouri River is crossed by Vets Bridge and creates the boundary between Iowa and Nebraska.
High traffic on U.S. Route 275
Fox Run is a developing neighborhood, with numerous land parcels up for sale. There is a mix of industrial and agricultural use throughout the neighborhood – much of the area is still farmland- and it can come with the according traffic. The nearby Amazon fulfillment center means Route 275 gets heavy truck traffic. This route is also how commuters get to downtown Omaha or Offutt Air Force Base and can get quite busy during rush hour.
