Sun Ridge
Suburban Neighborhood in Omaha, Nebraska
Douglas County 68164
Good things come in small packages is an idiom that many ascribe to presents or perhaps a good book. When you’re looking for the ideal midcentury home in west Omaha, this phrase is a perfect fit for Sun Ridge. A tiny subdivision of just over 100 residences, Sun Ridge was built between 1980 and 1995 with a focus on top-of-the-line building materials and high-quality features. Most homes are all brick, ranch-style homes. Another admirable asset of Sun Ridge is its location. Tucked neatly between West Maple Road and the West Dodge Corridor, residents are less than a five-minute drive to shopping, dining, schools, gyms and parks. As Gillian Hanus, Realtor with Nebraska Realty says, “Northwest Omaha neighborhoods epitomize convenience. No matter where you live, you are just minutes to conveniences, necessities and major employers.”
Most Sun Ridge properties are midsize, brick, ranch-style homes with fully finished lower levels. Some are maintenance-free and have custom upgrades including plantation shutters, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors and sprinkler systems. Compact front and back yards require minimal upkeep but are nonetheless nicely landscaped. You can find well-maintained ranch-style homes from the 1980s with about 2,500 square feet from $320,000 to $380,000.
Willow Wood Park is a short walk across 132nd Street. Its meandering 88 acres offers playgrounds, basketball and tennis courts, walking paths and plenty of open space. If you’re a golfer, you’ll enjoy living close to both Eagle Run and Knolls Golf Course. And if you commute to downtown Omaha, your trip will be less than a 20-minute drive.
Picotte Elementary serves pre-K through fourth grade and frequently participates in district spelling bees and robotics tournaments. Buffett Magnet serves a diverse population of fifth through eighth graders and consistently ranks at the top of district middle schools. Burke High is notable for hosting the annual Nebraska State Track Meet, and for offering a Freshmen Academy that helps students transition to high school. Sophomores select from one of three career academies to help prepare them for future education and career success: Air & Space, Communications & Marketing, and Business & Analytics.
After a long walk through the park or a challenging round of golf, enjoy a relaxing evening of sushi and sake at Hiro 88 West Maple. Upscale and attractive, this is the place you take someone you want to impress, even if that person is yourself. Copal Cuisine is steps above ordinary Mexican fare. It not only offers an impressive menu, but it also offers private events in its spacious dining rooms.
Mulhall’s Nursery will help you put your own touch on your new yard. Fabulous Fashions Boutique offers a stunning array of casual and fancy women’s clothes as well as funky accessories. Nearby Eagle Run Plaza on West Maple Avenue is the place to go for a variety of popular retailers including Baker’s supermarket, Sierra Trading Post, Burlington, and Home Goods.
House hunting is challenging, but when you find midcentury homes, shopping and restaurants, pretty parks and interstate access, you’ve found good reasons to give Sun Ridge a closer look.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
