West Fairacres
Suburban Neighborhood in Omaha, Nebraska
Douglas County 68154
“West Fairacres is a classic mid-century, mid-west neighborhood,” says Mark Taylor of Nebraska Realty, “and it has adapted quite well to the 21st century.” While most original homes in the neighborhood were built in the 1960s and 1970s, they’re generally a bit larger than other mid-century homes in surrounding neighborhoods. You’ll find expansive ranch-style homes, to three- and four-bedroom split levels, and a few two- to three-story colonials, ranging from 1,500 to 4,000 square feet and beyond. It’s an established neighborhood, with excellent public schools, award-winning parks, and plenty of local and national retailers. It even has a nearby pool and swim club that’s a huge draw for kids during the summer months. Despite the relative age of homes in the neighborhood, when they come on the market most have been extensively updated. A four-bedroom, contemporary, tri-level home with Mediterranean influences and an in-ground swimming pool was recently listed for around $540,000. A well-updated 1970’s brick tri-level home with 1,800 square feet was recently listed for about $300,00.
Columbian Elementary School offers pre-K through sixth grade, has an A-rating from Niche and offers a program for gifted students. Beveridge Magnet Middle provides an emphasis on Arts and Global Studies while offering an extensive array of sports programs including football, soccer, basketball and swimming. Burke High School is notable for hosting the annual Nebraska State Track Meet, and for offering a unique Freshmen Academy that helps students transition to high school. Students select from one of three career academies to help prepare them for future education and career success: Air & Space, Communications & Marketing, and Business & Analytics.
West Fairacres Park has 8.5 acres of undeveloped green space with walking trails. Deer Ridge Park and Swimming Pool is a nicely landscaped 15-acre city park that overlooks well-kept tennis courts, and has a picnic area, playground and walking trails. Golfers are minutes away from courses including Westwood Heights, Champions Run and Eagle Run.
You’ll find several highly rated local restaurants in and around West Fairacres. Charred Burger & Bar is dedicated to making the best burgers around by using only Wagyu beef. Do not fret if you are vegetarian, as they have a “Not Wagyu Burgers” menu of salads and sandwiches. Seafood fans have put Shucks Fish House & Oyster Bar on the map – and two additional nearby locations – since their founding as a stand-up oyster bar in 2006. Oysters on the half shell, Maryland crab cakes and their gluten-free items keep fans returning regularly.
Oak View Mall has over 50 retail stores including Bath & Body Works, Lids and rue21. Mainstream Boutique on 157th Street is a mother-and-daughter-owned local franchise that has spread nationwide and specializes in trendy, multi-generation clothes and accessories. When stocking up for your new home, Costco on West Dodge Street can’t be beat for variety and volume. HyVee on 132nd and Dodge offers responsibly sourced meats and seafood as well as groceries with an emphasis on fresh and healthy.
While mid-century modern homes in west Omaha are not rare, finding ones with more than 2,000 square feet that are ideally located close to schools, shopping and award-winning restaurants is fairly remarkable.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. 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.
