Former Omaha suburb lives on in Old Millard East
For nearly a century, Millard was an established town about 15 miles southwest of Omaha. Though the smaller city was annexed by Omaha in 1971, its original downtown lives on in the Old Millard East neighborhood. “Millard was the place to be in the ’60s and ’70s. It was the suburb where everybody went to get away from downtown Omaha,” says Charlie Sutton, a 32-year Omaha resident and Realtor at BHHS Ambassador Real Estate. That suburban charm is still intact in the neighborhood, which occupies the area around the intersection of Millard Avenue and L Street. Tranquil, tree-lined residential streets are within walking distance of neighborhood schools. “Because of the home sizes and great schools, it’s an excellent place for families to find their first home,” Sutton says.
Home of Norris Elementary and Millard Central Middle School
Students attend schools in the Millard Public Schools district, which retained its independence even as Millard was incorporated into Omaha. Norris Elementary School and Millard Central Middle School are both in the neighborhood and receive B grades from Niche. Millard South High School gets a B-plus and is within a short drive. The high school’s Early College Program allows students to obtain an associate degree from Metropolitan Community College while earning their diploma.
Playing ball at Andersen Park
The baseball fields are the star attraction at Andersen Park in the neighborhood’s southwestern corner. The playground and picnic shelter make good vantage points for the ball games, and the park is steps away from pubs and restaurants in the old downtown. Near L Street, Oaks Park features basketball courts, shaded picnic areas and a centrally located playground. Families can hit the lanes for tenpin bowling at Western Bowl, about a half-mile down the street from Oaks Park.
Single-family homes bordered by stately trees
The neighborhood’s residential property mix is a blend of single-family homes, apartments and condos. Apartment buildings and multifamily units occupy the area near the L Street Marketplace. Streets in the central portion of the neighborhood are bordered by paved sidewalks and rows of stately mature trees, and most properties include driveways and small patches of lawn. When homes enter the market, they’re usually snapped up within 14 days, about one-third the national average. Raised ranch-style and split-level homes with attached garages typically sell for $200,000 to $350,000. Tornado watches and warnings are common in Omaha, so buyers should look for homes with sturdy basements.
Burgers and beer steps away from Andersen Park
A handful of bars and casual restaurants spills along the streets near Andersen Park. Diners at Brick Street Tavern wash down burgers and wings with selections from the extensive beer list. The menu at Local Beer, Patio and Kitchen features stick-to-your-ribs classics like bangers and mash, mac and cheese and open-faced meatloaf sandwiches. Just north of the neighborhood, the L Street Marketplace includes Walmart Supercenter, The Home Depot, Target, Kirkland’s Home and numerous fast-food options.
Commuters take I-80 to downtown Omaha
Commuters can hop on Interstate 80 for the 13-mile drive to downtown Omaha or the 15-mile ride to Eppley Airfield. Buses on Omaha Metro Transit routes serve the neighborhood, but not many residents use the system. “There are some buses that run to Old Millard East, but for all intents and purposes, we’re a car city,” Sutton says. The closest hospital is CHI Health Lakeside, about 4 miles away.
Millard Days festival takes place in August
For six days every August, Andersen Park transforms into a bustling carnival for the Millard Days celebration. Locals gather to decorate the parade floats on Friday evening, often meeting for cold brews in the beer garden afterward. The parade rolls through town on Saturday morning, and the festivities conclude with a Family Fun Day on Sunday.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. 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.
