“Young, busy families love Clairemont Heights. The homes are roomy enough for growing families, schools are nearby, and parks and shopping are within walking distance,” says Will Hagel, Realtor with BHHS Ambassador Real Estate. The neighborhood is close to Omaha's historic Benson neighborhood, but offers homes with more competitive pricing. “Another thing that sets Clairemont Heights apart is the prevalence of so many of these amazing American Foursquares. They’re bigger than most cottages and bungalows, but the prices are in the same ballpark, and that makes them really attractive to buyers.”
Mature trees, sidewalks, and turn-of-the-20th-century architecture define the look of Clairemont Heights. The neighborhood also offers tidy cottages and bungalows. Many homes have on-street parking only and compact yards that require minimal care. A captivating and thoroughly renovated 1.5-story Craftsman-style home with 5 bedrooms and a finished lower level was recently listed for $325,000. A stunning 2.5-story Foursquare from 1921 with original hardwood detail in every room plus a separate two-car garage recently sold for $250,000.
King Elementary was built in 1973 and was named after Dr. Martin Luther King thus making it the first Omaha Public School to be named after a distinguished African-American leader. It is walking distance from most homes in the neighborhood and offers pre-K through fifth grade. Monroe Middle offers a Gifted & Talented program as well as a variety of clubs including Book Blasters, African American History Challenge and Robotics. Benson Magnet High offers AP and honors classes and a Career Academies concentration in one of the following three content areas: Design & Construction, Business & Entrepreneurship, and Health Professions. Academies provide exposure to content-specific curricula and real-world applications, as well as partnerships with local businesses.
Lake James Park is less than a mile west and includes a baseball diamond, a basketball court, a playground and over two acres of open green space. Saddle Creek Breakfast Club opened in 2020, during the pandemic, no less, and has been so successful that its owners recently announced the intended opening in 2024 of a second location. They offer vegetarian and vegan breakfasts until 2 pm daily and fans rave about their banana bread French toast. Wamo Restaurant and Coffee serves Somali and African Halal food and takeout. Try the rice with goat meat or the popular fufu with steak.
When it’s your job to bring the cake to the next party, you cannot fail when you visit Buttered Marshmallow. They make 100% custom cakes, cupcakes, brownies, and more for any celebration. New homeowners in Clairemont Heights frequent Janousek Florist & Greenhouse on Charles Street to spruce up their indoor and outdoor gardens. A fourth-generation business, they offer flowers and plants for retail and corporate customers. Fresh flowers, seasonal décor and groceries are nearby at Walmart Neighborhood Market on N. Saddle Creek Road. Hamilton Food Mart is convenient and close by when you need something in a hurry.
Home sellers know that “location, location, location” directly correlates to home prices and speed of closings, but home buyers in Clairemont Heights know another meaning – that this location close to Benson, Downtown Omaha and Historic Dundee is truly added value unequaled.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
