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.
