Diverse architecture for a long-established neighborhood
Leavenworth developed alongside the significant Omaha boom in the late 19th to early 20th century, and most properties in the area date between 1920 and 1950, the mixed architectural styles a testament to the many developer styles. On just one of the narrow streets, a red-tiled Spanish Revival could easily sit next to an elegant brick Colonial Revival. As it's meant to be a more walkable area, sidewalks wind their way through the residential roads, past eclectically painted Craftsman houses and classic Tudors. Townhouses and condo buildings are readily available for move-in, and one-bedrooms typically start selling for around $110,000 while two-bedrooms spike up to $190,000. Single-family homes sell for a median of $260,000, aligning with the average of Omaha.

Those seeking both recreational fun and social events can join with the Field Club of Omaha, established in 1898. They have an 18-hole golf course, and members enjoy access to the pool, fitness center and other amenities.
