Neighborhoods

Aksarben Village used to be a racetrack. Now it's a neighborhood.

Stinson Park, Baxter Arena, and established streets of ranches and brick two-stories around it.

The short answer

Aksarben Village sits where the Ak-Sar-Ben horse track used to be, around 67th and Center. Today it's a mix of restaurants, offices, apartments, and townhomes around Stinson Park, with Baxter Arena next door for UNO hockey and basketball. The streets around it are mostly mid-century ranches and brick two-stories, close to the middle of the city.

The houses

Inside the village, it's mostly apartments and townhomes. A good fit if you want to lock the door and leave.

On the streets around it, you'll find mid-century ranches and brick two-stories on established lots with mature trees. It's a central location, with a short drive to downtown, Dundee, and west Omaha.

Questions I get asked

Is Aksarben good for first-time buyers?

It can be. Condos and townhomes in the area can be more affordable than a house nearby. Read the HOA budget and reserves before you write an offer.

Does it get loud on event nights?

Closer to the arena and the park, there's more traffic and activity on game and event nights. A few blocks out, it's quiet.

How old are the homes around it?

Mostly mid-century, from the 1950s and 1960s. Ask about the sewer line, the roof, and the furnace age.
