Historic neighborhood primed for intentional investment
Monmouth Park, in North Omaha, was founded in the 1880s and grew rapidly due to its location near the Omaha-Chicago Railway, and, in the 1920s, the new electric streetcars offering easy access to downtown. The neighborhood was one of the first in Omaha to intentionally integrate in the 1960s, though segregation stubbornly reasserted itself. Now, the neighborhood is “well-positioned for restoration and transition,” says Adam Fletcher Sasse, an author and educator who runs NorthOmahaHistory.com, a website dedicated to preserving the area’s history. “There is potential for this neighborhood to once again be a substantial, important and meaningful place to the rest of Omaha as well as to the residents who live there now.”

Eppley Airfield offers flights on most major airlines, and is only four miles away.
Bus stops can be found throughout Monmouth Park.

Historic buildings and affordability
“Today, the Monmouth Park neighborhood might have the highest percentage of new housing in North Omaha,” Fletcher Sasse says. He attributes this to the intensive work of housing nonprofits in the area over the past few decades. However, many original turn-of-the-20th-century homes still stand, some with modern updates. Milt Schneider, Associate Broker with Nebraska Realty, estimates the median build year of the neighborhood to be 1925. Some common styles are two-story Craftsman, American Foursquare and bungalows. Prices range from just under $100,000 to $225,000, making the area lower cost compared to much of Omaha. Schneider works with many first-time home buyers in the area, including those looking to qualify for Federal Housing Administration loans. “It is an economical way to get an FHA home,” Schneider says.
