Prairie Pointe is just a few steps from Zorinsky Lake
Life in Prairie Pointe centers around Zorinsky Lake. The dammed lake is one of many across Omaha that help control flooding, but most locals use it recreationally. Trails and parks surround the lake, with various subdivisions just steps away from those outdoor spaces. “We get to know our neighbors. Everyone’s sitting out on their driveways or walking the dogs or walking the strollers,” says Realtor Erin Oberhauser with Nebraska Realty. “I live close to the walking path, so I see people walking all the time.” Beyond the lake, this area of Omaha attracts homebuyers for its highly rated schools with strong academic programs, nearby shopping centers and convenient healthcare. Prairie Pointe also gets a 1 out of 10 Cap Index Crime Score, which is lower than the national average of 4.

Parks and trails surrounding Zorinsky Lake
Prairie Pointe borders Zorinsky Lake, where boat ramps and fishing piers line the shoreline. “It’s a no-wake lake, so you don’t ski or anything like that,” Oberhauser says. “Sailboats will come out in the summertime.” Zorinsky Lake Park – Southeast is the closest lakeside park to Prairie Pointe and includes soccer fields and a playground. “There’s a bunch of ball fields, and it's one of the best sounds when you hear the cracking of the bats because it means winter is over,” Oberhauser says. The inclusive playground is on the other side of the lake. The Zorinsky Lake Aquatic Center includes an outdoor pool with slides. In the summer, it hosts the local swim team. Trails surround the lake. Bauermeister Prairie sits on the northern side of the neighborhood, and the Bauermeister Prairie Trail goes alongside it, linking the neighborhood with the Zorinsky Lake Trail.
