Recent sales have ranged from $145,000 to $330,000 for ranch-style homes from the 1950s to the 1970s. Buyers will also find split levels, raised ranch-style homes, and extensively renovated farmhouses from 1875 to 1920 that sell for around $320,000. The vibe in the neighborhood is peaceful and welcoming. “Many people have lived here for 40 or 50 years, and plenty have sold their homes to their kids or grandkids,” says Blackmore. “There’s a lot of loyalty around here because the city just gets better and better.” Large trees provide shade along sidewalks, and flower gardens line driveways and property entrances. The neighborhood is anchored by two churches and two city parks.

Recent bond issues have welcomed school renovations
Papillion-LaVista School District gets an A-minus from Niche. Trumble Park Elementary is close to most homes, allowing students to walk or bike to school. With a B grade from Niche, it’s notable for a student-teacher ratio of 14 to 1 and a preschool. Papillion Middle has a B-plus grade from Niche. LaVista South High is graded A-minus. In 2023, voters approved nearly $130 million in school bonds, aimed at capacity expansion and upgrades including a gym renovation and new science classrooms at Papillion Middle and auditorium renovations, new classrooms and athletics facilities at LaVista South. According to the school district, property owners will not see a tax increase for the 2023 bond because its debt payment schedule will match that of an expiring bond.
Trumble Park Elementary School serves students in PK through K-6.
