Why Live in Crown Point
Crown Point, a north Omaha neighborhood, sits along Sorensen Parkway, a former rail corridor now used as a major route through the city. Leaving the highway, the interior streets feel more residential and quiet. The neighborhood’s hilly blocks feature cottages, bungalows, Cape Cods and ranch-style homes, many dating to the late 1800s and early 1900s with some midcentury designs mixed in. Lot sizes are generally modest, though some stretch to about a third of an acre, and many properties have paved driveways and wooded backyards. Budget-conscious buyers often look here because home prices are lower than much of Omaha, and there are no HOA or neighborhood association fees. Meanwhile, nearby areas like Miller Park-Minne-Lusa, Wakonda and Florence tend to be a bit pricier. Belvedere Elementary sits within the neighborhood, and McMillan Magnet Middle School is just across Redick Avenue. Metropolitan Community College is less than a mile away for higher education. For everyday errands and dining out, residents can head to Aldi, Walgreens, Citi Trends, Harold’s Koffee House and Time Out Foods. Zesto in nearby Florence is a popular drive-through stop for burgers and ice cream. Sorensen Parkway connects quickly to U.S. Route 75 for the 5-mile drive to Downtown Omaha, and a car is usually helpful for errands. Outdoor recreation is close at Miller Park, which features a golf course, trails, sports courts, a playground, a splash pad and a dog park. Crown Point Park offers a smaller option closer to home.
