An urban enclave just south of downtown Omaha
Just south of downtown Omaha, Woodland Hills is a walkable urban neighborhood with sweeping views of the city skyline and the curving Missouri River. “It’s incredibly walkable to everything,” says Will Hagel, Realtor with BHHS Ambassador Real Estate. “Schools, restaurants and parks – and for many folks, it’s even close to work,” he adds, alluding to its location less than 20 blocks from The Riverfront area of downtown. Though proximity to the city center is a plus, Woodland Hills features some unique shopping spots of its own, including Bancroft Street Market, an arts and cultural hub of southern Omaha. Residents also enjoy outdoor recreation through urban oases like Lauritzen Gardens and the nearby Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium.
Woodland Hills residents enjoy the nature that surrounds their community.

Cottages and bungalows along the hillside
Woodland Hills has a cozy, vintage feel with rows of historic, two and three-story homes with the Omaha city skyline in the background. “Historic neighborhoods offer a lot of charm, especially if you appreciate classic architecture and traditional home styles,” says Hagel. “But you cannot beat living close to the heart of a city.” While there are only about 200 homes in the neighborhood, there's a diverse mix of early 1900s American Foursquares, compact cottages and bungalows from the 1920s, raised-ranch and ranch-style homes from the 1950s and 1960s, and even a few pockets of newer one-and two-bedroom townhomes and condos within walking distance of Lauritzen Gardens. With the popularity of historic homes in and around Omaha increasing, many homes on the market have been well-updated or fully renovated. Prices range from $100,000 to $250,000 on average.

The Bancroft Street Market and local dining hubs
Bancroft Street Market is the Woodland Hills destination for everything current and creative. Located within a restored 19th-century butcher shop with colorful murals splashed across the brick exterior, this spot now serves as a hub for food vendors, artists, local musicians and creative retailers to showcase their work. Residents can grab groceries at Family Fare Supermarket, about 1 mile west of Woodland Hills.
Cascio’s Steakhouse has been a constant presence in Woodland Hills since 1933. Originally named “The Rinky Dink Bar and Grill,” it quickly outgrew its original location, changing its name and focus to traditional steakhouse dishes paired with classic Italian fare. It’s a popular place for banquets and parties, with its largest private room seating up to 400 people. Located on South 13th Street, Los Portales Mexican Food & Goodrich Ice Cream is a highly-rated Mexican restaurant with a laid-back, casual atmosphere.
