Oak Heights is conveniently located between two shopping centers that serve everyday needs.
Why Omaha homebuyers reach for Oak Heights
Rows of mature trees line the quiet residential streets in Oak Heights, helping the Omaha neighborhood live up to its name. Residents enjoy a peaceful suburban atmosphere more than 10 miles southwest of Downtown Omaha. The highly rated Millard Public Schools district is a top draw for families, and neighborhood parks invite outdoor recreation. Oak Heights also sits between two shopping plazas, putting daily necessities and dining options within easy reach.
Many families move to the neighborhood to gain access to Hitchcock Elementary School.
The highly rated Millard Public Schools district appeals to families
Oak Heights sits on the eastern boundaries of the Millard Public Schools attendance area, allowing families to access highly rated schools while remaining within a reasonable distance of employment centers across the city. Niche gives Millard Public Schools an A and rates it the second-best district in Nebraska. Kids can start at Hitchcock Elementary, also rated A, which sits right in the neighborhood. At Millard South High School, eligible students can participate in programs that allow them to earn college credits through Metropolitan Community College while completing their high school diploma.
The housing market stays competitive in Oak Heights
Split-level, ranch-style and raised ranch homes sit in neat rows on the streets of Oak Heights. Most date to the 1960s and ’70s, which is typical for this part of Omaha. While the underlying architectural styles are the same, distinctive exterior details keep the homes from looking too much alike. Lot sizes typically range from 8,000 to 10,000 square feet, with paved driveways and tidy yards. Once listings enter the market, they’re snapped up in about a month on average, compared to the national average of 56 days. “The market is strong,” says Sue Ellen Kuhl, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Homes Services Ambassador Real Estate who’s been selling homes in the area for 35 years. “Things are selling quickly because there’s a shortage of housing, and the rates are better than they were.” Properties generally sell from the lower $200,000s to the upper $300,000s, and the median sale price of $290,000 is roughly on par with the citywide median.
Most properties in Oak Heights have paved driveways and small yards.
While styles are similar, exterior touches and pops of color keep Oak Heights homes from looking too cookie-cutter.

Comparing Oak Heights to nearby neighborhoods in the MPS district
Buyers who compare Oak Heights with nearby neighborhoods will find different tradeoffs. Brookhaven and Pheasant Run both feature newer homes from the 1980s, yet their median sale prices are similar to Oak Heights’ median. Pheasant Run also benefits from proximity to the popular Chalco Hills Recreation Area, but students are zoned for Sandoz Elementary, which isn’t rated as highly as Hitchcock. If the Hitchcock attendance area is a priority, Applewood Heights offers stylish ’80s-era New Traditional homes, but they typically sell at a higher price point.
Local parks offer sports courts, trails and a public pool
Oak Heights Park is a hub for outdoor activities. The green space is close to Hitchcock Elementary with features including:
A playground
Basketball and tennis courts

Picnic sites
A seasonal swimming pool with a slide, a diving board and a kiddie zone

Interstate 80 is nearby, making it easy to get around Omaha
