West Central Omaha is just right
Pop singer Peter Gabriel made a fortune satirizing the “bigger is better” zeitgeist of the 1980s, making many wonder if we had gone too far with suburban and material excess in America. West Central Omaha, thankfully, has shown over the years that bigger – when used for the improvement of the community – can sometimes actually be better. “This area is unique because it offers homes that are not too big, not too small, but just the right size,” says Susan Colson Wilson with Woods Brothers Realty. “While families with kids do love West Central Omaha, it also attracts buyers who don’t want a huge house, such as empty nest executives, recent retirees, or traveling doctors and nurses.
Ranch-style and split levels not far from Regency Park
West Central Omaha balances the neighborhoods of tranquil and established Regency alongside progressive West Dodge with its mid-century modern ranch-style homes and split levels. As you move closer to the western edge of West Central Omaha, near Happy Hollow Golf Club, you’ll find larger Colonial Revivals and relatively new custom, one- and two-story all brick, executive villas, but no one size or period dominates, resulting in a natural balance of home styles across the area. You can find one-story custom villas with about 5,000 square feet just blocks from Regency Park for around $860,000. Partially updated three-bedroom ranch-style homes from the mid-1950s can be found from $225,000 to about $260,000.
Ranch-style homes can be found throughout West Central Omaha.
Split-level homes are abundant in West Central Omaha.
