Mockingbird Hills West is an established neighborhood about a mile from Interstate 80 in west Omaha. Because families are drawn to the local school system, the real estate market is hot. The elementary school and adjacent community center are within walking distance of most homes, and there are plenty of shopping centers and casual restaurants nearby.
With apartments dominating the property blend, this is a renter-friendly neighborhood. Most single-family homes are raised ranches and split-levels with attached garages and paved driveways. The area is well-maintained, especially considering that most houses were built in the 1970s. “A lot of them have done upgrades, as far as additions to the homes,” says Mo Albers, a Realtor with Realty One Group Sterling who’s lived in the area for 30 years.
Properties sell within a week of hitting the market, and the median sale price of $287,000 is slightly below Omaha’s median of $295,000. According to Albers, there’s no HOA and therefore no associated fees. “It’s an older neighborhood, so it doesn’t have one,” she says. Ranches and split-levels sell from the lower $200,000s to the upper $300,000s. Houses close to South 108th and L Streets might be subject to noise from traffic and the commercial activity nearby.
Most students attend Ralston Public Schools, including Blumfield Elementary, which is right in the heart of the neighborhood. “It’s a small pocket that’s in the Ralston school district,” Albers says. “People look for that Ralston area specifically.” Blumfield received some upgrades in 2024, including updated HVAC and sprinkler systems, a new driveway, wireless access points and a video surveillance system. The district’s Strategic Plan for 2024-2029 focuses on student achievement and life skills.
The Mockingbird Hills Community Center is next to the elementary school and hosts a bunch of activities for kids and adults. There’s Tiny Crafters and Tiny Tots Gym time for the little ones and open gym a few days a week for older kids. Adults can sign up for dance lessons, pickleball league and Aqua Fit classes. The aquatic center also holds a Friday Family Swim once a month, and the senior Safe Walk is free for residents 55 and older. Mockingbird Lanes bowling alley is right down the street for more indoor fun, and Big John’s Billiards offers a taste of nightlife. If you’d rather get outdoors, Mockingbird Heights Park is nearby with walking paths, a playground, a baseball diamond and tennis and basketball courts.
There are plenty of shopping centers and restaurants around the neighborhood. Here’s a sampling:
Most people who live in Omaha drive, but Metro bus routes serve South 108th and Q Streets. Downtown Omaha is about 7 miles away, and the trip takes about 10 minutes by car. The drive to the University of Nebraska Medical Center, a major employer, usually takes 15 to 20 minutes.
