Leavenworth, a neighborhood in a balancing act
Just a few miles from downtown Omaha's heart, Leavenworth is divided almost perfectly, with a business district in the east and a residential area in the west. With its slight separation from the metro center, this neighborhood enjoys a little reprieve from the busiest of city life. This is certainly no secluded suburbia, however. In any given direction, residents can find a historic performance theater for a show or a locally owned restaurant to try, just a bike ride or quick drive away from the towering buildings of downtown. Leavenworth is a fringe community that has the perks of city living without complete immersion.
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.
There are a variety of architecture styles featured in Leavenworth.
