What future development plans could mean for Clifton Hills
This part of the city has faced decades of disinvestment, but new economic opportunities could be on the horizon. Investors are already drawn to the area for its comparatively low property prices and proximity to Downtown Omaha, and interest is on the rise. The city and public agencies are planning several upgrades for the surrounding neighborhoods, including:
Infill housing initiatives
Upgrades to streetscapes
A mixed-use innovation district with multifamily housing
In the meantime, nonprofits and community organizations such as Abide Omaha continue working to expand opportunities for residents and support local families. “Omaha is full of giving people,” says Martha Barrera, a broker with Nebraska Realty who’s lived in Omaha for more than 25 years. “There are so many nice people who are ready to give and love without expecting anything back or even knowing you.”
A closer look at nearby neighborhoods in north Omaha
Potential buyers often wonder how Clifton Hills compares to other north Omaha neighborhoods. In Benson, you’ll have access to the dining and nightlife on Maple Street, but the median home sale price is slightly higher. Country Club, a small neighborhood tucked up against Benson, features spacious historic homes at significantly higher prices. If the lower price point is your main reason for considering Clifton Hills, Florence might be worth considering. Located farther north, the neighborhood offers a more suburban feel and convenient access to parks, trails and other outdoor recreation.
