Local business pride in Midtown Omaha
Sharing a name with one of Omaha’s oldest parks, the Hanscom Park community houses a mix of green spaces, historic attractions—like the birthplace of Gerald R. Ford—and recreational activities. Residents appreciate their immediate access to U.S. Interstate-80 and U.S. I-480 for their easy 3-mile commutes into downtown Omaha. Many also tout their community’s hometown feel which is supported by the presence of local plumbing, HVAC and hardware businesses within the neighborhood. “We pride ourselves on taking care of ourselves in Nebraska, and for our ability to use a lot of local products and patronize a lot of local businesses,” says Benjamin Heaston, a decade-long resident of Omaha and Realtor with BHHS Ambassador Real Estate.
American Foursquares and first-time homebuyers
Hanscom Park features a range of housing options from two-story American Foursquares and gabled roofed Prairies to single-story cottages and raised ranch-styles. With a median sales price of $190,000, price points here can range from the high $100,000s to upwards of $300,000s depending on the age, size and location of the property. For example, a raised three-bedroom ranch-style costs around $190,000, while a five-bedroom prairie-style with a brick facade and covered porch and proximity to downtown Omaha can go for around $300,000. Homes neighboring the downtown area are subject to increased price points. “Hanscom Park has become a very popular area for millennials buying first homes to be closer to downtown and midtown Omaha,” says Heaston. Homes here often feature single-car garages and are typically fronted by large yards with enough room for a few mature oak trees.
