Montclair West sits in a prime west Omaha location

In fact, the neighborhood is bordered by two of the district’s highly rated schools. However, strong academics aren’t the only draw. Montclair West is home to the Millard Branch of the Omaha Public Library, Kingswood Park, a supermarket and several restaurants, and more shopping and dining options are nearby at Oak View Mall. With everyday essentials close at hand, residents don’t have to travel far for the basics, but West Center Road helps link commuters to Downtown Omaha, about 13 miles east.

Cather Elementary, known for its specialized Core Knowledge Academy

West Center Road provides commuters with a link to nearby I-680.
Montclair West is walkable, but most people commute by car
Sidewalks throughout the neighborhood make it easy to run daily errands on foot. “It all comes down to location, location, location. That’s what sells houses,” Kuhl says. “It’s a very walkable area. You can walk to the park, the library and the shopping center.” Omaha Metro bus routes serve the neighborhood as well, but most people rely on cars for longer commutes. West Center Road is an east-to-west traffic artery that connects to Interstate 680 a short distance away. The drive to downtown Omaha and major Midtown employers like UNMC usually takes 20 to 25 minutes in regular traffic.
Restaurants, retail and a movie theater are within walking distance
The neighborhood is right next to Oak View Mall, and side streets allow residents to walk there while avoiding the traffic on West Center Road. At the mall, you’ll find a wealth of dining, retail and entertainment options, including the B & B Theatres multiplex. Moving away from the mall, nearby restaurants include:
Zen Coffee Company West, brewing a selection of morning pick-me-ups
Isla Del Mar Restaurante, specializing in coastal cuisine with a Mexican twist
Smokin Barrel BBQ, serving savory smoked meats on trays lined with checkered paper
Goldberg’s Bar and Grill, known for burgers, beer and Bloody Marys

Kingswood Park has a playground and a ball field near Cather Elementary and Millard North Middle schools.
Local parks, trails and public golf courses invite outdoor fun
Kingswood Park sits in a convenient spot between Cather Elementary and the movie theater. Two baseball fields include dugouts and spectator seating, and the shaded playground appeals to younger visitors. A short drive away, the West Papio Trail follows West Papillion Creek, providing miles of paved pathways for walkers, runners and cyclists. Westwood Golf Course, a public nine-hole course, is also close by.
Comparing Montclair West to nearby west Omaha neighborhoods
If you’d like to be closer to the golf course, consider expanding your home search to Westwood Heights. The neighborhood sits just east of Montclair West and features similar houses at comparable prices. By contrast, homes in nearby Royalwood Estates are usually more expensive, but many offer more square footage and generous lot sizes ranging from one-quarter to one-third of an acre. However, those areas don’t guarantee access to Millard Public Schools. If that’s a priority, you might check out neighborhoods like Harvey Oaks and Piedmont Wycliffe, which sit firmly within the MPS boundaries.
