Home sizes, schools and parks among draws to Clairemont Heights

Mature trees, sidewalks, and turn-of-the-20th-century architecture define the look of Clairemont Heights. “Young, busy families love Clairemont Heights. The homes are roomy enough for growing families, schools are nearby, and parks and shopping are within walking distance,” says Will Hagel, Realtor with BHHS Ambassador Real Estate. Home sellers know that “location, location, location” directly correlates to home prices and speed of closings, but home buyers in Clairemont Heights know another meaning – that this location close to Benson, Downtown Omaha and Historic Dundee is truly added value unequaled.

Vintage architecture and competitive pricing appeal to many buyers

The neighborhood is close to Omaha's historic Benson neighborhood but offers homes with more competitive pricing. “Another thing that sets Clairemont Heights apart is the prevalence of so many of these amazing American Foursquares. They’re bigger than most cottages and bungalows, but the prices are in the same ballpark, and that makes them really attractive to buyers,” Hagel says.

The neighborhood also offers tidy cottages and bungalows. Many homes have on-street parking only and compact yards that require minimal care. A captivating and thoroughly renovated 1.5-story Craftsman-style home with 5 bedrooms and a finished lower level was recently listed for $325,000. A stunning 2.5-story Foursquare from 1921 with original hardwood detail in every room plus a separate two-car garage recently sold for $250,000.
