Embraced by local Omaha history

The historic community of Robin Hill features a wide variety of landmarks like centuries-old Westlawn-Hillcrest Memorial Park, nearby greenery at Churchich Park and dozens of mom-and-pop businesses and local restaurants like Wayne’s New Skoo BBQ. Residents are greeted by subdivisions with a slight incline, winding roads and paved side-walks prime for a jog or walking the family dog. Robin Hill offers residents a small town feel with easy access to urban downtown amenities via U.S. Interstate-80 to the South of the neighborhood. “If you asked most people here, they would say that the community is pleasant and we haven’t lost all of the politeness of a small heartland town.,” says Benjamin Heaston, a decade-long resident of Omaha and Realtor with BHHS Ambassador Real Estate.

Raised ranch-styles and rolling terrain

Robin Hill features a range of housing options from raised ranches to accommodate the hilly terrain to vinyl sided cottages and brick-facade split levels. With a median sales price of $229,500, price points here can range from the high $100,000s to upwards of $500,000 depending on the age, size and location of the property. For example, a two-bedroom cottage fixer-upper with a one-car garage costs around $160,000, while a newly constructed five-bedroom ranch-style with a finished basement costs around $499,000. Homes neighboring U.S. I-80 and Hillcrest Memorial Park are subject to increased price points here. “The Robin Hill neighborhood features well built and well maintained homes and is the perfect example of early suburban neighborhoods that are way closer to downtown than to be considered the suburbs,” says Heaston. Majority of the homes are single-floor residences and are typically fronted by spacious front yards, wide paved driveways and one-car garages.
