Prices are competitive, downtown Omaha is about 20 minutes away, and there’s plenty of great dining and shopping practically around the corner.

Stability and continuity are common threads throughout this thriving neighborhood. “There’s not a lot of turnover in Harvey Oaks,” says Woods. “Families tend to stay here and enjoy what they’ve built.”
