Orchard Hill Homes for Sale

Orchard Hill is a historic Omaha neighborhood built on the site of an old apple grove, about 2 miles northwest of the current downtown district. Homes here date to the late 1800s and early 1900s, making them some of the oldest in the city. American Foursquares, Victorians and Craftsman bungalows line the streets. Recent sales ranged from the lower $100,000s to the upper $200,000s, and the median home sale price is less than half the citywide median. Nearby neighborhoods like Midtown Omaha and Military Avenue also have higher median prices, but homes in Prospect Hill cost about the same. Sidewalks offer walkability, but cars are necessary for travel outside the neighborhood. Commuters connect to Nebraska Highway 64 and U.S. Route 75, both within a mile. It usually takes less than 10 minutes to drive to Downtown Omaha and major employers like the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Creighton University. Metro buses offer another option. Around Highway 64 and North Saddle Creek Road, you'll find restaurants like Lalibela, DeLeon's, Wamo and Salween Thai, along with groceries at Family Fare and Walmart Neighborhood Market. Traffic noise is noticeable around Hamilton Street and Military Avenue, but it's not as bad as in some nearby areas. The Omaha Public Schools district serves the neighborhood, with Franklin Elementary and Walnut Hill Elementary close by. The Beltline Trailhead is a new feature with a playground, amphitheater and paved paths that lead into quiet green spaces. Nearby Walnut Hill Park offers sledding hills, a baseball field and plenty of shade.
