Small, established West Omaha neighborhood

Almost hidden in West Omaha, Leawood Southwest is a small, established neighborhood of 188 homes. The community puts potential buyers near multiple city parks, retail areas and the CHI Health Lakeside Hospital. Featuring multiple cul-de-sacs, the neighborhood’s home selection is on larger lots with backyard space. “I have lived in Leawood Southwest for 24 years and fell in love with its mature trees and proximity to everything,” says Julie Simon, President of the Leawood Southwest Homeowners Association. “It’s a smaller neighborhood and older than most of the neighborhoods in West Omaha. You have pretty much everything you need nearby.
Leawood Southwest has low car traffic due to the many cul-de-sacs.

Diverse home styles with mature landscapes

With only two ways in, Leawood Southwest features multiple cul-de-sacs spaced out underneath the shade of tall, mature trees, providing a picturesque landscape. With a diverse home inventory, buyers can find older, raised ranches, split levels, Colonial Revivals with built-in garages and Craftsman-styles. Prices range from $295,000 for a three-bedroom split level, while a five-bedroom Colonial Revival will sell for about $395,000. “The houses all look different here. It's not a cookie-cutter neighborhood. Property lots are not right on each other, and it is an established neighborhood,” Simon says.

Celebrating with the Leawood Southwest Homeowners Association

The Leawood Southwest Homeowners Association is a voluntary group that residents can join for just $45 annually. The group oversees maintaining the neighborhood’s entrance, fixing damages to common areas and keeping both main entrances decorative and festive during the holiday season. It hosts a handful of events throughout the year, including the Fourth of July Parade, and after, there is a small party with free snow cones. The neighborhood celebrates Halloween with the Boo Bash, which features a costume contest and children’s parade followed by a block party. “There are many cul-de-sacs here, so everyone knows their little circle. Our job in the homeowners association is to bring all those circles together,” Simon says.

Omaha Metro bus route and West Center Street

The neighborhood's southern border, West Center Street, is Leawood Southwest’s connection to the rest of the city. The roadway eventually changes into Center Street, runs almost into downtown and connects to Interstate 80. The Omaha Metro bus line does reach the area but only has one route, the West Center Express. The route has limited nearby stops and heads directly downtown.
