Northwest Omaha Homes for Sale

Northwest Omaha is a community characterized by its access to several major highways, including Interstate 680, West Dodge Road and West Maple Road. With Downtown Omaha 15 miles away, commuting is a snap, and the area has plenty of retail and dining options, as well as outdoor recreation. Most people rent, and apartment buildings are common. Condos and townhomes recently sold from the mid-$100,000s to the lower $200,000s, and raised ranch-style, split-level and tri-level homes sold from the lower $200,000s to the upper $300,000s. Most houses were built between 1960 and 1990. Subdivisions like The Knolls, Crosskey Villages, Lee Valley, Oakbrook and Horizons don't charge HOA fees, but some condo developments charge monthly maintenance and security fees. It takes about 20 minutes to drive downtown, and while Metro buses serve the neighborhood, the commute can take up to an hour that way. Big Papio Trail, OPPD Arboretum and neighborhood parks like Hefflinger offer outdoor recreation. Additionally, the Knolls and Miracle Hill golf courses are open to the public. Retail centers and restaurants line West Dodge Road, with options like Costco, Hy-Vee and Pets Discount. Local dining spots include Cunningham's Pub & Grill for craft beer and chicken wings and Acadian Grille and Bar for Cajun favorites. Kids attend schools in the Omaha Public Schools district, including Burke High. Highly rated schools draw buyers to the nearby Elkhorn neighborhood, but homes there are more expensive.
