Millard West High School is right in the neighborhood

Kids can attend highly rated schools in the Millard Public Schools district. “Sometimes people move there just for the schools, and then they leave when their kids are out of school,” says Kelly Buscher, a Realtor with NP Dodge Real Estate who has nine years of local experience. Millard West High School, which Niche ranks as the seventh-best high school in Nebraska, is right in Mission Park. Wheeler Elementary is in the neighborhood, too, and Beadle Middle School is just on the other side of South 108th Street.

Mission Park has large, well-kept homes on spacious lots

New Traditional houses from the late 1990s and early 2000s are typical in this part of west Omaha. Most homes have cross-gabled roofs, attached garages and three to five bedrooms. Even though some places are 25 to 30 years old, the properties are well-maintained. Lot sizes are pretty generous — about a quarter of an acre on average, which is larger than is typical for Omaha as a whole.

Housing prices compared to those in Hawthorne and Lake Shore

The median home price of $480,000 is well above the citywide median and slightly higher than in nearby neighborhoods like Hawthorne and Lake Shore. Despite the higher price tags, properties sell after about two weeks on the market, which is much faster than the national average. “Everyone wants to be at Millard West High, and everything is in high demand out there,” says Milt Schneider, an associate broker with Nebraska Realty who’s been selling in the area for over 10 years. Home prices start in the lower $300,000s and climb to the lower $600,000s.

Mission Park is walkable and bike-friendly

Quiet, level streets and well-maintained sidewalks make Mission Park a walkable neighborhood. Kids can ride their bikes to school, too. “There aren’t ‘cut-through’ streets, if that makes sense,” Buscher says. “But you would get some high school traffic through there, for sure.” Hawthorne and Lake Shore are close enough to walk to, and Lake Shore has a walking path that connects to the hiking trails around Zorinsky Lake. The Armbrust Family YMCA is right in the neighborhood, with a zero-depth-entry pool and a gym. The Y hosts group exercise classes and children’s programs, making it a popular community gathering spot.

Mission Park has plenty of restaurants and grocery stores nearby

Not feeling like cooking tonight? Don’t worry. You’ll have plenty of dining options in Mission Park, including:

  • Sip and Spice for Thai curry and noodle dishes
  • Timber Creek Pizza Pub & Grill for specialty pies and happy hour specials
  • Hydes Slydes for gourmet burgers and loaded fries
  • Yoyo Berri for frozen yogurt and acai bowls
There are plenty of grocery stores around, too. Hy-Vee is across Q Street, surrounded by casual chain restaurants, and Walmart Neighborhood Market and Fareway Meat and Grocery are close by.
