Oakdale, well-established suburban living
A well-established suburb of west Omaha, Oakdale began to truly flourish post-World War II, becoming a hot spot for people to build families and community on the sprawling green land. Today, Oakdale is drawing in new residents not only for its advantageous location – close to unique shopping, dining, and scenic parks – but also for its residential atmosphere. A bird’s eye view reveals a sea of trees, carefully landscaped lawns and large homes cradled into the winding roads. Its school district is highly rated, there are several opportunities for outdoor recreation and, perhaps most importantly, Oakdale provides a solid community of homeowners and neighbors.
The trails of Brookside Park connect it throughout the neighborhood.

From midcentury homes to contemporary customs
The first phase of Oakdale homes was built between 1945 and 1965 when many people were looking for well-located, new neighborhoods to raise their growing families. Homes were larger than those in many West Omaha midcentury neighborhoods, with most starting at 2,000 square feet. Today, many of those 1950s and 1960s ranch-style homes have been well-updated or significantly expanded. “Homes here are exceptionally well-maintained,” says Gillian Hanus, an Omaha native and experienced Realtor with Nebraska Realty for six years. “Few come on the market needing major overhauls. Homeowners here are very house proud, and updating their homes is a labor of love.” Elegant Colonial Revivals, large Cape Cods and custom-builds came on the market from the 1980s to the early 2000s. Smaller midcentury homes sell between $350,000 and $500,000, while large renovated vintage home sell between $600,000 and $1 million. JoAnn Wellsandt, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Ambassador Real Estate who's been selling homes for 30 years, mentions that the spring season is when the market tends to move fastest, especially for neighborhoods like Oakdale, where homes are meticulously well-kept.
Larger two-story homes are found on the north side of Oakdale.
