West Fairacres Homes for Sale

West Fairacres claims a convenient location on the West Dodge Road corridor, 14 miles from downtown. The highly rated Columbian Elementary School is right in the neighborhood, along with Burke High School, which has a newly renovated football and track stadium. Friedel Jewish Academy is also in the neighborhood on the Jewish Community Center of Omaha campus. Architectural styles include midcentury ranch-style and split-level homes, 1980s Craftsman bungalows and brick New Tradtionals with gabled roofs. There are some condos in the mix, too. The median home sale price is higher than the citywide median, but homes are larger than in some surrounding neighborhoods, with plenty of yard space. West Dodge Road connects with Interstate 680 a couple of miles away for easy commuting, and while Metro buses serve the area, most people drive. The commute to Downtown Omaha takes 15 to 20 minutes by car. Health care centers like Children's Nebraska and UNMC are 10 to 15 minutes away. For shopping and dining, most people head to West Dodge Road, where you'll find groceries and gas at Hy-Vee, retailers like Menards and Costco and fast-food options like Five Guys, Subway, and Panera Bread. Outdoor lovers head to West Fairacres Park and Meadow Lane Park in the adjoining neighborhood, which has walking trails, a playground and sports courts.
