Established homes bordering Tara Hills Golf Course
Northwest Papillion has two distinct attractions. Tara Hills Golf Course, a city-owned 18-hole course, occupies the northern half, with a few hundred adjacent homes along its fairways. The southern half, around Schwer Park, is mostly residential, with about 500 homes built from the 1990s to the early 2000s. “This is one of the most established neighborhoods in Papillion,” says Leanne Sotak, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services/Ambassador Real Estate. “But that doesn’t just mean the homes are well-built and older. It means that taxes are lower, which gives buyers a clear incentive. All the homes are custom-built, so each one is unique and different from the next. And, with views of the golf course, Schwer Park and all the landscaping, it’s just a gorgeous neighborhood.
Located in the fastest-growing county in Nebraska, Northwest Papillion homes sell quickly, most after 17 days on the market. “I love selling here because the neighborhood offers so much,” says Sotak. “There’s a nice mix of people from couples and young families to retirees. The location is minutes from downtown Papillion. And the city has built so many walking trails throughout the neighborhood that you have no excuse not to get outside on nice days.”
Custom-built homes create a unique streetscape throughout the Northwest Papillion neighborhood.

Tara Hills Golf Course and Schwer Park are pastoral landmarks
Tara Hills Golf Course has a strong reputation with residents. “Die-hard golfers love the course because it’s challenging, but also because it’s impeccably maintained by the city,” says Sotak. Schwer Park’s scenic 7-acre fishing lake is surrounded by a paved walking trail that provides glimpses of geese, turtles and herons. Kids enjoy the splash pad in summer. A roomy playground sits next to an open shelter that provides shade and a place to picnic. Cyclists access bicycle lanes along the neighborhood's north, west, and south edges and through Schwer Park.
Schwer Park has a small splash pad for the kids.
