Well-established homes near West Omaha retail corridors
Minutes from Millard District schools, 10 city parks and Zorinsky Lake, the half-mile square neighborhood of Hawthorne in West Omaha connects to a lot within its boundaries and even more just beyond. “Hawthorne has almost everything you need inside the neighborhood and super quick access to anything else,” says Michelle Gustafson, a Realtor for 20 years with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services/Ambassador Real Estate. “West Omaha buyers will normally consider Hawthorne because we’re in Millard School District. But when they tour the homes and realize how close we are to shopping, dining, all the great parks and then Zorinsky Lake, I’d say their minds are often made up in our favor.”
Custom homes from 1990 to 2023 are “solidly built, well-designed and larger than homes in nearby neighborhoods,” says Gustafson. “This is one of those neighborhoods with lots of kids riding bikes, gorgeous mature trees, nice sidewalks and gardens that show off years of attention.”
The Tree-lined streets in Hawthorne create a peaceful atmosphere.

Commuters can reach downtown Omaha in about 35 minutes
Residents rely on personal transportation, as Hawthorne is beyond the service of Omaha's public transit system. While it’s about 4 miles from the neighborhood to U.S. Route 6/Dodge Street, it’s the fastest route to downtown. Eppley Airfield is the closest commercial airport, about 20 miles across the city. It is undergoing an expansion that is expected to nearly double its space with new restaurants, shops and two gates for international flights.
Welch Plaza is inside the neighborhood with restaurants and HyVee Grocery
Welch Plaza, which can be reached from inside Hawthorne's neighborhood streets, gives residents quick access to Scooter’s Coffee and Godfather’s Pizza. HyVee Grocery is next to Javi’s Tacos. Hiro 88 Millard is an award-winning sushi restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating and an extensive wine list. Jimmy’s Egg fills up early on weekends for breakfast, brunch and oversized cinnamon rolls. Not far off, "people like to shop at Village Point, which is only 10 minutes away,” says Gustafson of the more upscale destination. “They also host many events like outdoor concerts, which are pretty popular in the summer.”
