Northwest Omaha
“Northwest Omaha is the epitome of convenience,” says Gillian Hanus, Realtor with Nebraska Realty. “No matter where you live, you are just minutes to schools, parks, shopping, golf courses and major employers. Interstate access is a breeze too, so if you’re heading to downtown, it’s about a 20 minute drive or less.”
While Northwest Omaha is a considerably large area – more than 20 square miles – home styles are fairly consistent. Homes were built from 1970 to 1990. You’ll find plenty of raised-ranch, traditional ranch-style homes, and split-levels ranging in price from $220,000 to $315,000. As many of these mid-century homes are reaching their “middle ages,” you’ll find many coming to market are newly updated, if not fully renovated, creating great value for homebuyers. The exception to this commonality is a 2-mile-wide enclave situated just between Boys Town and Linden Estates. These four- and five-bedroom homes range from 5,000 to over 10,000 square feet, with prices starting around $500,000 and soaring well above $1 million.
About half of Northwest Omaha neighborhoods fall under the Omaha Public School (OPS) District, while the rest are covered by the Millard School District. Niche rates Millard School District No. 2 of 242 Best School Districts in Nebraska. Montclair Elementary has a student-teacher ratio of 17 to 1 and offers a Gifted & Talented program. Millard North Middle is ranked 11th out of 131 Best Public Middle Schools in Nebraska by Niche. Notably, it is the only middle school in the Millard district to offer an International Baccalaureate (IB) program. Millard North High is also an IB school, with an overall ranking of A-plus by Niche, and it is ranked the No. 1 Best Public High School in Nebraska, out of 265 schools.
There are more than 10 municipal parks in and around Northwest Omaha. OPPD Arboretum is a 27-acre park that educates visitors about native trees and energy conservation. Nearby Miracle Hill Golf Course also offers eight indoor tennis courts, pickleball courts and an indoor golf driving range.
When dining out with friends and family there are plenty of choices in expansive Northwest Omaha. You’ll find fast food to fine dining across a wide spectrum of flavors including Asian, Mexican, Italian, Greek and Japanese, not to mention Israeli and Middle Eastern options, too. Brushi Bistro & Bar focuses on progressive European and American cuisines. Attention to detail and culinary surprises are always on the menu. Try their paella for the great taste and for its presentation. Frank’s Pizzeria on N 132nd Street is known for their New York-style pizza. They also offer Sicilian style for traditionalists.
Lindley Clothing Company is a premier men’s store, offering everything from suits to jeans. They offer several popular brands including Scott Barber and Tommy Bahama.
When it’s time to stock up on groceries, HyVee has fresh produce and a well-stocked garden center. Costco is the place to go for bulk shopping at discount prices. Pets Discount will make sure you don’t overlook your furry or feathered friends. The sell natural and organic pet food as well as treats galore.
The list of benefits of west Omaha is a long one. Proximity to parks, easy access to interstates, excellent schools and nearby shopping, dining and cultural options abound. So, when you start looking at homes in Northwest Omaha, be ready to hustle. “Houses move fast here,” concludes Hanus, “and when you find one that’s well-updated, we’ll get offers within 24 hours.”

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
