Ralston Townhome for Sale

Ralston, a suburb of Omaha, has transformed from its challenging beginnings into a thriving community with a population of around 6,500. Known for its small-town feel within a larger city, Ralston features hilly terrain and tree-lined streets. The housing market primarily consists of ranch homes and bungalows on compact lots with well-maintained lawns. The neighborhood boasts several parks, including Oak, Wildewood, and Ponderosa Parks, which offer walking trails and green spaces. Wildwood Park is particularly popular for its 'story walk' for children, while the Big Papio Trail provides scenic waterfront strolls. The Granary Green serves as a community hub with live music and free yoga classes. Ralston is renowned for its dining options, with Maria’s offering authentic Mexican cuisine since 1976 and the Lemon Tree Café serving breakfast and lunch. The Village Bar is a local favorite for socializing, and the Applewood Center shopping center includes a Hy-Vee grocery store and various eateries. The neighborhood is also famous for its extensive Independence Day celebration, featuring a picnic, concert, dance party, fun run, parades, and fireworks over two days. Public transportation is accessible, with the La Vista/Ralston Special Service bus and Omaha Metro bus routes 55 and 93 serving the area. Ralston is conveniently located south of Interstate 80, providing easy access to downtown Omaha and beyond. While the area is part of Tornado Alley, with tornadoes most common in spring and early summer, residents are well-prepared for such events.
