Ranch-style and split-level homes are common in Old Millard East
The neighborhood’s residential property mix is a blend of single-family homes, apartments and condos. You’ll find a lot of apartment buildings and multifamily units near the L Street Marketplace. Sidewalks and stately mature trees border the streets, and most properties include paved driveways and small front yards.
Raised ranch-style and split-level homes are the most common styles. “Millard was the place to be in the ’60s and ’70s. It was the suburb where everybody went to get away from downtown Omaha,” says Charlie Sutton, a 32-year Omaha resident and Realtor at BHHS Ambassador Real Estate. “It’s an excellent place for families to find their first home.” Since these homes are on the older side, some might need updates or general maintenance.
Most streets are bordered by paved sidewalks, convenient for dog-walking or daily strolls.
Many Old Millard East homes feature well-kept landscaping.

The housing market compared to nearby Millard neighborhoods
The median sale price of $262,500 is more than $30,000 below the citywide median. Some condos sell from the mid-$100,000s to the low $200,000s, but most single-family homes fetch prices from the lower $200,000s to the lower $300,000s. “People will go there because the housing is a little cheaper than Millard West,” says Milt Schneider, an associate broker with Nebraska Realty who has over 10 years of local experience.
Homes sell after about 12 days on the market. Properties tend to sell just as quickly in nearby neighborhoods, but the competitive prices set Old Millard East apart. In Disney, Stony Brook and Harvey Oaks, for example, the architectural styles are similar, but median sale prices are noticeably higher. Applewood Heights features newer homes and even higher prices — the neighborhood’s median is just under $420,000.

Andersen Park is the neighborhood’s go-to spot
Baseball fields are the star attraction at Andersen Park. The playground and picnic shelter make good vantage points for the ball games, and the park is steps away from pubs and restaurants in the old downtown. The park transforms into a bustling carnival for the Millard Days festival in August. Locals gather on Friday night to decorate the parade floats and meet in the beer garden for a few cold ones afterward. A parade rolls through town on Saturday morning, and the festivities wrap up with Family Fun Day on Sunday. Oaks Park is a smaller park near the middle school with basketball courts, shaded picnic areas and a centrally located playground.
It’s a 10-minute drive to the Chalco Hills Recreation Area on the southwest edge of the city. The sledding hill, boat ramp and scenic hiking trails on Wehrspann Lake make the park a popular year-round destination.
