“Pacific Meadows is practically a perfect neighborhood for families with young kids,” says Christopher Johnson, Realtor with BHHS Ambassador Real Estate and a real estate agent for over 22 years. The area is notable for its roomy traditional homes built in the 1980s and early '90s. Most homes have two-car garages, four bedrooms and fully finished basements that walk out to large backyards. Johnson says, “Cul-de-sacs dominate the design of the streets, and most of the homes have walkable access to both West Papio Trail and Papillion Creek."
Inside the neighborhood feels secluded and quiet, but access to anywhere in Omaha is near.

Two neighborhood parks offer abundant amenities
Residents have easy access to two neighborhood parks, which makes Pacific Meadows feel like a private pastoral oasis. At the northern edge is Barrington Park, with 29 acres of walking trails, tennis courts and open space. Pacific Meadows Park offers basketball courts, biking trails and a playground. “This is such a great neighborhood for kids, but it’s also easy on parents being so close to whatever you need,” Johnson says. While the prices are a bit higher than in some surrounding areas, Johnson says, “Families will pay a little more for a cul-de-sac neighborhood in a park-like setting.”
Residents of Pacific Meadows enjoy the miles of accessible trails right outside their doors.
One major highlight of the neighborhood is the passing through of the popular West Papio Trail.
