Prospect Hill blends historic homes, skyline views and community
Prospect Hill is one of the oldest neighborhoods in near north Omaha. Early properties were built in the 1880s, and by 1900 the community was known for distinguished Victorian homes and turn-of-the-century American Foursquare homes. Few if any Victorians remain, but thanks to dedicated preservation efforts, you can find updated American Foursquares as well as cottages and bungalows from the 1920s. Streets are lined with mature trees that provide shade in the summer and a carpet of huge leaves in the fall. At points throughout the neighborhood, you’ll catch views of the downtown skyline. While there are rental homes and modern apartment communities in Prospect Hill, the redevelopment vibe of north Omaha communities has increased interest in historic, early 1900s homes. Many older homes that come to market are updated if not fully renovated. Prospect Hill is known as a tight-knit and friendly community. With long-time residents and passionate preservationists as your neighbors, you’ll feel right at home before you finish unpacking.
Prospect Hill includes bungalow-style homes from the 1920s along tree-lined streets.
