Cared-for homes and green lawns shape this neighborhood
The Salt Valley View area includes mostly ranch- and split-level-style houses built between the 1960s and the 1990s. Most include attached garages and brick detailing. “Every one that I’ve purchased has been very well-kept,” says Jayme Shelton, who’s a co-founder and co-owner of Lincoln-based Red Door Realty and has owned three rental properties in Salt Valley View. “A lot of nice brickwork, custom brickwork. … A lot of them are from the ’70s, but a lot of them have been rehabbed and regenerated and remodeled.” Manicured lawns accent many of these homes on lots that are often at least one-fifth of an acre. Properties in this area sell for prices from the upper $100,000s to the mid-$300,000s. The neighborhood’s median sale price of about $280,000 is less than the median in nearby Far South ($300,000) and Rolling Hills Ridge ($550,000). “South Lincoln can be kind of expensive, but that area is still quite affordable,” Shelton says.
Filbert Park is an almost 5-acre neighborhood park in the center of Salt Valley View.
Parks and trails give residents multiple ways to enjoy the outdoors
Filbert Park, with a playground and basketball court, is one of the defining features of this neighborhood. The nearly 5-acre green space sits right at the center of Salt Valley View, between some of the area’s homes. The neighborhood’s sidewalks make it so residents can reach Filbert in minutes on foot. “It’s a nice little park,” Shelton says. “Very much used.” There is much more outdoor adventure just west of Salt Valley View in the 1,472-acre Wilderness Park. The sprawling space offers over 30 miles of trails, and its Salt Creek is open to fishing. “Wilderness Park is very clean, very nice, well-maintained,” Shelton says. “Probably the best trails in town.” More paths, including the paved Old Cheney Road and Rock Island trails, are accessible just east of Salt Valley View’s homes.
Local eateries, stores and entertainment venues are close by

SouthPointe is home to stores ranging from Barnes & Noble to Trader Joe’s, as well as a six-screen movie theater. Salt Valley View is also just a couple of miles from WarHorse Casino, which includes Legacy Downs, a live horse racing facility. “It’s very popular,” Shelton says of WarHorse. “It’s become a very important part of the south Lincoln entertainment [scene].”
