Mockingbird Hills West, maintaining its original form

Found 10 miles west of downtown Omaha, Mockingbird Hills West maintains a tight-knit community feel in a suburb that’s stuck to mid-20th century roots. With well-maintained homes dating back to the 1960s and 1970s, it sticks out amongst the contemporary subdivisions that are typical to West Omaha. With a large shopping center to the west of the neighborhood and a bustling community center at the heart, most residents can find all they need within Mockingbird Hills West to fill out their day. The relatively low cost of housing alongside its proximity to city convenience makes it appealing for those who don't necessarily want to live downtown, but don't quite want to reach the Omaha outskirts.

Homes of the 60s and 70s reign supreme

Homes are lined with rows of thick, tall deciduous trees accenting the horizon of the neighborhood. Properties in Mockingbird Hills West are mostly ranch styles and split-levels, with most properties being built in the mid-20th century. Unlike many of West Omaha’s neighborhoods, Mockingbird Hills West has barely introduced new construction into the fray, preferring to maintain the ones already in the neighborhood. “Homes here are really well-maintained,” says Gillian Hanus, an Omaha native and experienced Realtor with Nebraska Realty for six years. “Not many come on the market needing major overhauls. Homeowners here are very house proud, and updating their homes is a labor of love.” It’s kept the median selling price in the area low, and homes are accessible to both owners and renters, with renters being more present in the neighborhood. Due to the similarity of construction years and architectural styles, prices don’t have a huge range, selling between $250,000 and $300,000.
