Located in Cuming County
The Cuming County seat of West Point sits on the Elkhorn River and is bordered by mostly corn and soybean fields. With a population of about 3,500, it has a small-town vibe, with a quaint downtown. Between locally owned businesses, an independent public school district and beloved local parks, this community offers a close-knit community and quiet living about 70 miles northwest of Omaha.
Prices here range from just under $100,000 to almost $430,000, but the median is about $225,000, considerably less than the national median. Properties larger than an acre can cost between about $400,000 and $720,000. The city has many historic properties, some dating back to the 1800s and early 1900s, including American Foursquares, cottages and farmhouses. Other styles are more contemporary, such as split-level homes and prairie-style houses. FEMA has not designated special flood zones in the area, but areas along the Elkhorn River are prone to flooding, making flood insurance a consideration for homebuyers.

Nielsen Community Center is the main event hub, hosting everything from concerts to car shows. Next door, Neligh Park is a tree-filled green space with campgrounds, dog runs, a playground and a fishing pond for kids and seniors. For more rustic adventures, there’s Wilderness Park on the east side. Here, visitors can hike through 120 acres of prairie land, and after a good snowfall, the hill by the south entrance is perfect for sledding.
Main Street is a red brick road lined with locally owned businesses like Graybeal’s, a family-run grocery store, and Uptown Restaurant & Lounge, another family-owned spot that serves classic American comfort food. The city also has several fast-food chains, including Dairy Queen and McDonald’s. Dollar Fresh Market shares a parking lot with a popular Mexican restaurant on the north side, Fiesta Brava.
