Loveland blends Omaha history and modern appeal

Grown from farmland in the 1920s, Loveland is an Omaha neighborhood that embraces its roots. When dairy farmer Archibald J. Love parceled out his land in the wake of World War I, its pastures slowly gave way to residential streets shaded by canopies of linden and pine. Today, the neighborhood sits about 6 miles west of Downtown Omaha between Dodge Street and West Center Road, two of the city’s key east-to-west corridors. Buyers choose from an eclectic mix of established homes, and kids can attend highly rated schools in the Westside Community Schools district.

Housing styles and typical home prices in Loveland

Many Loveland homes are ranch-style and split-level designs from the 1950s with attached garages and paved driveways. The neighborhood’s northern reaches reveal more diverse architecture, including New Traditional, Prairie-style and European Revival homes. Land parcels are generous by city standards, typically measuring around one-third of an acre, with some stretching as far as 2 acres. Mature old-growth trees arch over the homes and spacious yards. The price range is just as broad as the architectural palette, with sale prices ranging from the lower $200,000s to over $2 million.

Westside Community Schools is a highly rated district nearby

School zoning varies across the area, but many Loveland students can attend Westside Community Schools, known to locals as District 66. The highly rated district is known for its robust academic programs, community engagement and well-rounded extracurriculars, including a strong performing arts department. Westside High School, the district’s only secondary school, is just west of the neighborhood, a short drive from most homes.

Most Loveland residents rely on cars to get around

Loveland is a large neighborhood with some hilly streets and limited sidewalks, so getting around on foot isn’t always easy. Metro bus routes serve the area, but most Omaha residents rely on cars, and Dodge Street connects directly to Downtown Omaha, 6 miles away. Loveland also offers proximity to two major hospitals: Children’s Nebraska is right in the neighborhood, and CHI Health Creighton University Medical Center – Bergan Mercy is a short drive from most homes in the southern section.

Community roots run deep in Loveland

Loveland is an established community where residents tend to put down roots and stay awhile. “The neighbors seem to watch out for each other,” Farland says. “When I was selling the house in that neighborhood, we were getting calls from the person next door or across the street, letting us know, ‘hey, there’s something left on your door,’ you know? They were keeping track of the house.” In 2022, the Loveland Neighborhood Association received $1,300 from a city-funded grant for its centennial celebration, a reflection of the neighborhood’s long-standing community ties.
