A small community in western Omaha

Almost hidden off South 108th Street and Harrison Street, Applewood Heights is a small western Omaha neighborhood with a diverse home selection. The community has a small homeowners association that promotes community gatherings and is responsible for keeping the neighborhood beautiful. Applewood Heights is known for its outdoor lifestyle, with a park by the same name, a community pool and nearby golfing and trails. “People are really drawn to this area,” says Price Wilson, a Realtor on the Briley Team with Berkshire Hathaway Home Service Ambassador Real Estate, who grew up in Omaha. “As a kid, I remember going to Oak Heights Pool and Mama’s Pizza right after. It was great.”

The Applewood Heights neighborhood is located just a mile east of Interstate 80 and allows for easy access to the rest of Omaha.

Various architectural styles on perfectly manicured lots

Intimate suburban streets have sidewalks, which wrap around the neighborhood and are shaded by towering trees that scatter across property lots. Potential buyers can pick from Colonial Revivals with built-in garages, Tudor Revivals with front-facing gables or Craftsman-style bungalows perched on compact front yards with fenced-in backyards. Prices range from $366,000 to $424,000, and buyers can expect a four-bedroom Colonial to sell for around $385,000. “With rates coming back down, the Omaha market is picking up again. The house I sold there in December 2023 got multiple offers and was off the market in a few days,” Wilson says.
