Conestoga Community Homes for Sale

Conestoga Community is a small neighborhood just north of Downtown Omaha, with deep roots in the city’s Black history. Local landmarks keep history alive, and strong community spirit and redevelopment are moving the neighborhood forward. Apartments are more common than single-family homes, but most houses date to the early 1900s, offering a blend of Nationals, bungalows and Foursquares. Some have been updated, and there are newer builds here and there. The Hope Center for Kids and the Schenzel Community Center provide educational and employment programs as well as community events for all ages. Local businesses like Big Mama’s Kitchen & Catering and Get-N-Go Fish are known for their community contributions and culinary flair. Kids can attend Omaha Public Schools, including Conestoga Elementary, right in the neighborhood, and the highly rated Central High School. Creighton University offers higher education opportunities about a mile south. Although Conestoga Community is walkable, residents rely on cars or public transportation to get around the city. Metro buses serve the area, and the bus ride downtown takes about 15 minutes.
