Ideally located west Omaha neighborhood near schools and shopping
Royalwood Estates' convenience sets it apart from surrounding neighborhoods, says Cindy Forehead, a Realtor with BHHS Ambassador Real Estate for over 40 years. But the declining fortunes of a 1920s-era country club helped make it so, as Omaha grew after World War II. "It’s just a few minutes by car to shopping, schools, churches, synagogues and the Montclair Community Center, a big local attraction,'' she says. "Royalwood Estates is a well-established neighborhood with some great older housing, but it’s moderately priced compared to other areas in west Omaha.”
Ironwood Country Club once occupied the land just north of the neighborhood. But as post-war Omaha expanded westward, and the club faltered into the 1990s, the land was redeveloped into Sterling Ridge, a mixed-use area with retail, office space, restaurants, a senior-living center, worship centers and more. Within Royalwood Estates, homebuyers will find a mix of mid-sized, mid-century homes and a few larger ranch-style homes that were originally built right on the golf course.

Trendy again midcentury homes close to Hell Creek
In keeping with popular mid-20th-century home styles, buyers will find raised ranch, ranch-style, and split-level homes from about 1,300 to 3,000 square feet. Multi-level homes from the 1960s have recently sold from about $300,000 to $400,000. Ranch-style homes with Tudor and Spanish influences have recently sold from $400,000 to $500,000.
Royalwood Estates has 273 homes and is one of the smallest south-central Omaha communities. Anchored between West Center Road to the south and Shirley Street to the north, the area is designed with seven main east-to-west streets. Some streets feature paved sidewalks, while others display sloped curbs, common in suburbs in the 1960s.
Running through the center of the neighborhood from north to south is Hell Creek, a tributary of the Boys Town Reservoir, a 23-acre lake located 2 miles north. Like many creeks in Omaha, it can change from almost empty to near flood stage depending on weather and man-made adaptations. Millions of dollars of flood control investment have been spent since the 1960s to minimize creek flooding across Omaha, and Royalwood has escaped significant flooding since.
