Why Omaha homebuyers are drawn to Bent Creek
Bent Creek is in a part of west Omaha that’s prized for its access to Millard Public Schools, but this neighborhood is particularly appealing to families. Two of the district’s elementary schools are within a mile of most homes, and sidewalks, paved paths and connections to the West Papio Trail encourage walking and biking within the community. Several residential streets link to the popular multiuse trail, which runs through Bent Creek Park on the neighborhood’s leafy western edge. And commuters can hop on West Dodge Road for a quick ride to the job centers in downtown and Midtown Omaha.

Highly rated Millard elementary schools are close to home
Bent Creek is part of the highly rated Millard Public Schools district, which is a magnet for Omaha families. Most of the neighborhood is zoned for Aldrich Elementary, which receives a Niche grade of A and sits within walking distance of many homes. Some students might be zoned for Grace Abbott, another A-rated elementary school that’s just west of the neighborhood. Millard North High also receives an A from Niche, which ranks it as the No. 1 public high school in Nebraska. “The location and schools are a huge draw for the area,” says Linda Moy, a Realtor with Nebraska Realty who’s lived in the city since 1993.
Millard North High School is known for its academic and athletic excellence.
Young students might attend Grace Abbott Elementary School.

New Traditional homes are steps away from parks and trails.
New Traditional homes anchor an established west Omaha neighborhood
The neighborhood’s looping residential streets are lined with New Traditional homes, most built in the 1980s and ’90s. In some areas, such as the Barrington Park subdivision, large brick mansions feature Tudor-style elements like steep-gabled roofs and arched doorways. “It’s mostly traditional, single-family homes,” Moy says. “There’s a mixture of ranch homes and multi-level properties.” Many streets have well-maintained sidewalks that make it easy to stroll over to neighbors’ houses. The median sale price of $430,000 is high by Omaha standards, and properties usually sell from the lower $300,000s to the lower $1 millions. Most homes on the higher end of the spectrum are in Barrington Park, which charges annual HOA dues of around $700. Other subdivisions, including Bent Creek, may also charge HOA fees.
Comparing Bent Creek to nearby Millard Public Schools neighborhoods
Some buyers might consider expanding their home searches to surrounding neighborhoods. Greenfields and Piedmont Wycliffe both offer lower median home sale prices and access to Millard Public Schools. However, most students are zoned for Cottonwood Elementary, which isn’t as highly rated as Aldrich and Grace Abbott. If the Aldrich attendance area is a priority, you might check out listings in Pacific Meadows. Home prices there are usually higher, though, and it’s a smaller neighborhood, which means you’ll probably have fewer options.
West Dodge Road borders the residential area for easy commuting.
West Dodge Road links to downtown Omaha and major employers
While Omaha Metro buses serve the area, most people get around by car. U.S. Route 6, also known as West Dodge Road, runs along the southern edge of the neighborhood and leads directly to Downtown Omaha, about 18 miles away. Major midtown employers like UNMC and Mutual of Omaha are about 11 miles away along the same route. “It gets you to everything,” Moy says. “Bent Creek has super easy access to get onto Route 6.” Closer to home, West Dodge Medical Plaza includes facilities such as a 24-hour general hospital, supporting health care employment in the immediate area.
Nearby public parks are connected to the West Papio Trail
The West Papio Trail runs through the neighborhood, providing a route for walking, running and biking along Papillion Creek. Along the way, the trail passes through several parks, including:
Bent Creek Park, featuring a playground and picnic pavilion
Barrington Park, with tennis courts, shaded picnic spots and a playground with climbing structures
Bridlewood Park, which includes a soccer field and a sand-based volleyball court
Some residential streets connect directly to the trail, while other paths link pedestrians to the medical center and Aldrich Elementary.
The West Papio Trail is a popular route for running, walking and cycling.
Many homes in Bent Creek have direct access to the West Papio Trail and the connected parks.
