Fontenelle View Homes for Sale

Fontenelle View, about 5 miles northwest of downtown Omaha, is a well-established neighborhood known for its blend of early 1900s and midcentury homes. The area features Craftsman-influenced and Minimal Traditional styles, along with midcentury ranch-style and split-level homes and some neotraditional houses from the early 2000s. Fontenelle Park, a major highlight, spans over 100 acres and offers a fishing lagoon, tennis and basketball courts, a splash pad, paved multiuse paths and a sand-based playground. The park hosts the Fontenelle Family Fishing Frenzy event a few times throughout the year. Ames Avenue, the neighborhood’s main thoroughfare, connects to U.S. Route 75, so it's easy to commute to downtown Omaha in 10 to 15 minutes. Essential amenities are readily available on Ames Avenue, including a Walmart Supercenter, Family Dollar, bj’s gas station and dining spots like Southern Spoon and Jim’s Rib Haven. The Omaha Public Schools district serves the area; Central Park Elementary and Mount View Elementary are both nearby, and North High School offers college- and career-readiness programs. The neighborhood attracts first-time buyers and investors due to its relatively affordable home prices. Recent sales ranged from the lower $100,000s to the mid-$200,000s. Despite Omaha’s proximity to the Missouri River, flooding is not a concern in Fontenelle View.
