Park West
Suburban Neighborhood in Omaha, Nebraska
Douglas County 68164
“Park West is getting more and more desirable these days as buyers fall in love with midcentury modern homes again. Their popularity is really soaring, especially as many of the homes that come to market are well updated,” says Gary Willis, Realtor with NP Dodge Real Estate. “Then, when you consider the location here, close to golf courses, shopping, schools and the interstate, it’s really hard to overlook this neighborhood.” Park West contains about 300 midcentury homes that were built between 1975 and '99. You’ll find three-bedroom split-levels and tri-levels, along with mature trees, fenced yards and sidewalk-lined streets. Well-cared-for split-levels from the late 1970s with three bedrooms and about 1,300 square feet have sold in the past six months for around $260,000. Many homes that have come to market over the past year have been updated with new windows, expanded decks and renovated kitchens and/or bathrooms.
Neighborhood children can attend Joslyn Elementary for pre-K through fifth grade. Joslyn also offers Early Childhood Special Education for three- to four-year-olds. Beveridge Magnet Middle provides an emphasis on Arts and Global Studies while offering sports programs including football, soccer, basketball and swimming. Burke High is notable for hosting the annual Nebraska State Track Meet and for offering a unique Freshmen Academy that helps students transition to high school.
If you’re a golfer, you’ll enjoy living right next door to both Eagle Run and Knolls Golf Course. Nearby Heflinger Park’s 70 acres host Omaha BMX, a dog park, access to Big Papillion Creek and the ending point of Big Papio Trail. If you enjoy soccer, tennis or coaching Little League, you’ll want to visit Tranquility Park. It has nearly 375 acres including eight lighted baseball fields, 25 tennis courts and plenty of green space.
There are plenty of shopping options all around Park West. Fabulous Fashions Boutique offers a wide array of casual and fancy women’s clothes as well as funky accessories. Beck House of Fashion is a one-of-a-kind women’s clothing and accessory store founded by Becky Carrico, a long-time local retail guru. Designer clothes at everyday prices make Beck stand out from the crowd. If you live in Park West, you can easily walk or bike to Culver’s, a mid-west fast-food chain that serves soups, burgers and fresh frozen custard in a family-owned, friendly environment. Hu Hot Mongolian Grill on 120th Street is known for its amazing stir fry and unique sauces. Build your own with a selection of vegetables, meats and seafood. Baker’s grocery store is nearby on 132nd Street and offers weekly specials. Target is on West Maple and offers plenty of home décor items for your new house.
While most house-hunters want easy access to nearby conveniences, buyers might be surprised by just how many luxuries and necessities are less than a 10-minute drive from any home in Park West. It gives a whole new spin to the meaning of “location, location, location.”

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.
