Convenient location, accessible housing market and unique amenities
Brown Park, a suburban neighborhood just minutes from downtown Omaha, offers gardens modeled after George Washington's famous estate and an array of popular Latin American establishments, drawing both residents and visitors alike. These amenities add to the neighborhood's appeal, which is largely influenced by its relatively accessible housing market that mostly consists of older, turn-of-the-century dwellings. Prospective residents can even find properties that go for under the $100,000 price point, and houses here sell fast. Also adding to the neighborhood's desirability is its location. Brown Park sits along the western shores of the Missouri River and gives its residents easy access to U.S. Route 75, creating easy commutes. It's not just unique recreational spaces, a convenient location and housing prices that can attract those looking to purchase property in Omaha. The community is home to several small establishments like Mecanica Automotriz Reynoso, which allow residents to support their neighbors and make it so they won't have to drive far for many necessary services.

Hot housing market: Traditional Midwestern properties
Along hilly streets are various non-HOA single-family properties, many of which date back to the late 1800s or early 1900s. These homes, whose styles reflect the Midwest's most popular housing trends, line streets often flanked by sidewalks and spacious front lawns. They range from single-story dwellings like bungalows and cozy cottages to two-story properties like structures with gabled roofs and tiered front porches. The community is also home to midcentury residences like sprawling ranch-style dwellings and raised ranch-style constructions with attached garages, which were built to accommodate the terrain. Other properties atop hills sometimes feature staircases and terraced lawns. Prospective residents wanting to build their own homes can also find several lots for sale. Prices range from $80,000 to nearly $500,000, and homes sell after an average of just eight days. Properties under the $100,000 price point are often small dwellings needing renovation, while homes on the higher end of the scale are often newer and larger. Most residents own their homes. Residences here are often surrounded by greenery, especially those in the northeastern corner of the community. The neighborhood receives a relatively active sound score.

A red-brick road and green spaces by the river
Locals can walk along the charm of 22nd Street’s red-brick road for a change of scenery or head to one of the community's green spaces to spend some time outside.

These arcadian paths lead to the Mount Vernon Gardens, a scenic botanical place patterned after the gardens of George Washington's historic Virginia home. This array of flora has provided a picturesque backdrop for weddings and photoshoots for many residents, while its sundial, serpentine walkway, and portico add to the charm of this patch of local delight.
