West Omaha community along Interstate 80
Located about 10 miles west of downtown Omaha, Westgate offers an inventory of midcentury homes in a convenient location. Before the formation of the neighborhood, the land at 78th & West Center was home to an emergency hospital in a health camp in the early 1900s that was destroyed in the tornado of 1975. That was then cleared for Pipal Park, the first inclusive park still a hub in the neighborhood. “Westgate is a popular neighborhood, convenient to everything you need,” says Jenne Vandeveer, a Realtor with Keller Williams, who has been in the market for over a decade. “You are just above Interstate 80. There are many nearby restaurants and shopping centers and residents like the neighborhood pool.”
Westgate is a quiet and established neighborhood.

Midcentury homes under old-growth trees

Events with the Westgate Neighborhood Association
The Westgate Neighborhood Association's mission is to advocate for the development of the neighborhood, but it also hosts a handful of events for the community each year. Each spring, the entire city has a spring cleanup, in which Westgate participates. Other events include Trunk or Treat, Summer Outdoor Movie Night and awards the yard of the month.
Right along Interstate 80
The southern end of Westgate is Interstate 80, which runs from Teaneck, New Jersey to San Francisco, Calif. “Some houses are across the street from the soundproof wall on the interstate. However, it remains pretty quiet, and traffic is limited because there is only one throughway in the neighborhood,” Vandeveer says. Commuters can also hop aboard the Omaha Metro public bus and use the Route 15 – Center Street line to get around town.
Browsing the Fedrick Square Shopping Center
On the western edge of the neighbors can visit the Fredrick Square Shopping Center, where they can head to the locally owned Mangelsen’s, a craft store that offers home goods and other knickknacks and have breakfast or lunch at Farm Haus. A bit further west on Center Street, locals can grab their groceries from Hy-Vee. Westgate is a tad more than 2 miles from Aksarben Village and has multiple locally owned stores, restaurants and office space. The Village shops range from clothing stores, like A Priori, to books at the Book Nook and provisions from Spirit World. For a bite to eat, Inner Rail is a food hall with nine vendors surrounding a central bar.
Farmhouse is an Omaha favorite and a favorite of those near Westgate.
