Elkhorn Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Nebraska

Elkhorn, Nebraska, sits just 15 miles west of Omaha and is considered to be part of the Omaha-Council Bluffs metro area. Omaha sits along the Missouri River and Council Bluffs, while Iowa sits across the river. With approximately 8,000 residents, the populace is afforded clean water and air, a nationally ranked school system and reasonable home prices. Recently, Forbes Magazine identified Omaha as the nation's number one "Best Bang-For-The Buck City" and number one on "America's Fastest-Recovering Cities" list.

Elkhorn residents are benefiting from Omaha’s bolstered economy through recent development, including replacing the city’s largest building, the creation of North Downtown, and new construction and development of downtown and midtown condominiums. Just minutes from the Missouri River, Elkhorn residents can enjoy the riverfront development, including the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge.

Elkhorn offers plenty of sports and outdoor recreational options including golfing at the Elkhorn Ridge Golf Course, or boating, camping, picnicking and fishing at the Dead Timber State Recreation Area. Omaha also has a number of recreational trails and parks located throughout the city. Transportation is easy around Elkhorn, sitting near US Highway 80 and Interstate 6. While the Eppley Airfield sits near the city, public transit provides bus services for area citizens.

As an active recreational hub, suburban safety and close proximity to the city services of Omaha are just some of the reasons why Elkhorn is a great place to call home.
