Pacific Heights is a residential neighborhood in west Omaha that reflects many of the region’s standout features. Mature trees line the gently rolling streets, lending shade to the established homes and spacious yards. Students have access to the highly rated Millard Public Schools district, and shopping centers are close by for daily errands. With multiuse trails that wind through wooded areas, it’s often hard to believe that this peaceful enclave is just 15 miles from Downtown Omaha.

The lowdown on the Pacific Heights housing market

Single-family homes make up most of the property blend in Pacific Heights. Ranch-style, raised ranch and split-level designs are common, but there are also some two-story Colonial Revivals and New Traditionals in the mix. Many homes date to the 1970s and include finished basements, attached garages and generous backyards. While the underlying styles might be similar, pops of color and exterior touches create visual variety. “I love Pacific Heights because it has the most unique mix of homes, builders, custom designs and architectural styles,” says Kyle Schulze, a Realtor at BHHS Ambassador Real Estate who has 15 years of experience. Listings tend to move within about a month on average, faster than the national average of 55 days. In general, sale prices range from the mid-$200,000s to the lower $500,000s. Some subdivisions might also charge HOA fees, though costs and coverages may vary.

Trails and neighborhood parks weave through Pacific Heights

The neighborhood offers plenty of opportunities to get outside, especially if you enjoy running or cycling. The West Papillion Creek spills across the eastern border, with the multiuse West Papio Trail following alongside. The scenic path links to the Woodhaven Park Trail, creating a system that connects to several parks throughout the region. Nearby green spaces include:

  • Peterson Park, which has a playground, a shaded picnic shelter and a soccer field
  • Pinewood Park, with a gazebo, a playground and a small basketball court
  • Pacific Meadows Park, where you’ll find a baseball field and tennis courts
The trails intersect near Morton Elementary, so some kids might be able to use them to walk or bike to school, depending on where they live.

How long it takes to drive to downtown Omaha and major employers

Most residents get around by car. If you commute to downtown Omaha or major midtown employers like Mutual of Omaha or the University of Nebraska Medical Center, you’ll be driving about 10 to 15 miles each way. These commutes typically take around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic. For longer trips, Eppley Airfield is roughly 18 miles away, a drive that usually takes about half an hour.

Where Pacific Heights residents go to shop and dine

Most of the neighborhood’s restaurants, shops and services are concentrated in The Tradition at Pacific Crossing. The small retail plaza has salons, boutiques and a handful of dining options, including:

  • Mama’s Pizza, a family-owned spot that’s been open since 1975
  • Pan Asian Terrace, the place to go for pho, fried rice and other Asian specialties
  • Hector’s, a Mexican cantina known for its margaritas
  • Vincenzo’s Ristorante, dishing up house-made pasta and seafood dishes
Grocery options include Baker’s in the nearby Pepperwood Village shopping center and Natural Grocers on Wright Street.

Expanding the home search to other west Omaha neighborhoods

If you can’t find the right home in Pacific Heights, the adjoining Leawood Southwest neighborhood has similar homes at comparable price points. You’ll also have direct access to West Center Road for easy commuting. Harvey Oaks also sits along the West Center corridor, and its namesake shopping center puts coffee shops, specialty stores, restaurants and a supermarket within easy reach. Farther north, Bent Creek features newer homes with more square footage, but sale prices are often higher.
