The Millard Park neighborhood offers a quiet retreat from city life, roughly 20 miles southwest of Downtown Omaha. The highly rated Millard Public Schools district is a key selling point, and housing prices are lower than in some nearby neighborhoods. Walking trails connect to neighborhood parks, and lakes and larger recreation areas are also close by.
Most houses in Millard Park were built within the past 30 years. “Millard Park kind of grew up in the late ’90s, early 2000s, so the houses are still in great shape,” says Charlie Sutton, a Realtor with BHHS Ambassador Real Estate who’s lived in Omaha for more than three decades. “People love to hang out in their driveways and visit with their neighbors,” Sutton says. “People take care of their yards, and the trees are maturing. It’s a lovely place.” Raised ranch-style, split-level and New Traditional homes are common. “There’s definitely pockets of newer homes and newer developments, but you’re still going to see those split-levels,” says Ken Bartholomew, a Realtor with BHHS Ambassador Real Estate. “From the local recreational area to the public school system and surrounding amenities, it’s just an attractive place for families.”
Homes in Millard Park sell from the mid-$200,000s to the upper $400,000s. The median sale price is around $330,000, which is lower than nearby neighborhoods like Black Elk Park and Southwest Omaha. Properties tend to sell within 17 days of hitting the market, well below the national average of 53 days. Depending on where you live, you might have to pay HOA fees of around $100 per month for things like ground maintenance and snow removal.
Students attend highly rated schools in the Millard Public Schools district, all within a short drive. Niche ranks Millard West School as the seventh-best high school in Nebraska. The girls basketball team won its second straight Nebraska Class A title in spring 2025.
The neighborhood’s namesake park stretches between 156th and 168th streets. Multiuse paths weave past South Papillion Creek through shaded groves and into residential areas. The playground features slides, bridges, platforms and climbing structures, and there are plenty of benches and picnic areas for relaxing. Parking is limited, but the park is within walking distance of every house in the neighborhood. Shorter trails lead to Millard Park South and Spring Hill Park in the southern section. About a mile away, the popular Chalco Hills Recreation Area is open year-round for fishing and boating on Wehrspann Lake or hiking and biking the lakeside trails. More boating, fishing and hiking await at Zorinsky Lake, about 2 miles north.
Metro bus routes don’t extend this far outside the city center, but most people in Omaha get around by car. Traffic can be heavy during rush hour, even on side roads. If you commute to Downtown Omaha, the drive should take about 25 minutes. For medical care, CHI Health Lakeside is a 10-minute drive.
