Most midcentury ranch-style and split-level homes are in good shape
West Dodge has plenty of apartment buildings, and most people rent. The majority of the single-family houses are ranch-style and split-level homes from the 1950s and ’60s, with some Craftsman bungalows and Cape Cods in the mix. “There are some pretty interesting homes around there that have a lot of character,” says Jarret Bloom, a Realtor with BHHS Ambassador Real Estate who’s been selling in the area for about 10 years. “They were built a long time ago, and some have been kept up, and some haven’t. But for the most part, they’re generally well-kept.”
Cape Cod homes can be found scattered throughout the West Dodge neighborhood.

What you can expect to spend on a home in West Dodge
Home sale prices in West Dodge range from the mid-$100,000s to the mid-$300,000s, and properties are typically snapped up after 10 days on the market. The median home sale price is around $250,000, which is lower than the citywide median but fairly typical for this area. By way of comparison, here are the median sale prices for a few nearby neighborhoods:
Benson Gardens – $220,000
Maple Village – $260,000
West Central Omaha – $327,000
Since Nebraska property taxes are higher than the national average, West Dodge’s lower home prices can keep overall costs down. “You get first-time homebuyers in that area because the price point is lower,” Bloom says. “And if you’re going to use it as an income property, it’s a great area.”
Westbrook Elementary School is within walking distance
Westbrook is part of the highly rated Westside Community Schools district, and a lot of families move here for that reason. Most kids will start at Westbrook Elementary School, which is just outside the neighborhood and within walking distance of most homes. The Keystone Trail, a paved multiuse path, runs along Little Papillion Creek near the school, and Roberts Park and the Hillside Little League complex are also close by.
The students of Westbrook Elementary School enjoy learning in a large and modern school.
