Ranch-style and split-level homes on generous lots with shaded yards
Most of the homes you’ll find in this residential neighborhood are ranch-style or split-level houses built in the 1960s and ’70s. A few townhomes are available, too. Property sizes are generous by city standards. Most lots are about a quarter to a third of an acre, with paved driveways, attached two-car garages and shaded yards. “The lay of the land is so non-Nebraska, meaning that it’s sloping and hills and nature,” says Camilla Knapp, a real estate agent with Keller Williams who has 12 years of local experience. Bear in mind that while the area is mostly quiet, traffic noise can affect the houses closest to the interstate. Fortunately, most are far enough away to keep it from being a serious problem.

It’s easiest to get around by car from Raven Oaks
Metro bus routes don’t run this far north, and while some streets have sidewalks that are good for strolling from house to house, you’ll need a car if you live here. “It’s really easy to get everywhere in town even though you live on the outskirts, because you just hop on 680,” Knapp says. Here are the distances and commuting times for a few key destinations: * Downtown Omaha’s business district: 8 miles, 15 minutes* Eppley Airfield: 8 miles, 15 minutes* University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC): 6 miles, 20 minutes“The commutable distance to the airport is super good there,” adds Knapp. “It feels like you’re close to the airport, but you’re not necessarily bothered by the airport, because of all the wooded areas.”
