Elkhorn, NE Homes for Sale — Live MLS Listings & Search
The listings below are pulled live from the Great Plains MLS and refreshed multiple times daily. Elkhorn is the new-construction and school-district draw of the west metro — zip code 68022, served by the independent Elkhorn Public Schools district (Elkhorn South ranked #1 and Elkhorn High ranked #2 in Nebraska per US News), predominantly 1990s through current builds, and proximity to the Village Pointe / Costco amenity ring at 168th and West Dodge. For the full picture of sub-markets, school district context, the SID property-tax reality, and what daily life looks like across Olde Elkhorn, the Pacific corridor, and the new-construction frontier, the Elkhorn city guide is the deep dive.
Use the filters below to narrow by property type, bedroom count, price range, acreage, or new listings from the past week. Elkhorn's median sale price runs around $521,000 — meaningfully above the metro median — with active new construction in the western frontier past 204th and luxury subdivisions like The Prairies and Five Fountains pushing well above $1M. If you don't see what you're looking for, send me a note — a meaningful share of buyers I work with end up touring a property they hadn't found in the public MLS, either through agent-to-agent inquiries, coming-soon inventory, or builder channels not yet released to MLS.

Filter Elkhorn Listings by Sub-Area
Elkhorn is in a single zip code (68022), but breaks naturally into six recognizable sub-areas defined by subdivision identity, housing-stock vintage, and price tier. Below are the six sub-areas most buyers focus on, with quick links to filtered searches and to the matching section of the Elkhorn guide. For metro-wide community comparison, see the relocation hub.
Olde Elkhorn / Elkhorn Village
The original 1870s village core around Main Street with Elkhorn's oldest housing stock, walkable shops, restaurants, and the small-town feel that pre-dates Elkhorn's annexation by Omaha in 2007. Character homes, established trees, and the most accessible Elkhorn pricing. Zip code 68022.
Pacific Springs, Pointe & Pines
The Pacific Corridor subdivisions along Pacific Street and West Dodge — predominantly 2000s-2010s construction on quarter-acre to third-acre lots. Mature family neighborhoods, walking access to Elkhorn Public Schools elementaries, and the most active mid-tier inventory turnover. Zip code 68022.
The Prairies, Five Fountains & The Sanctuary
The luxury custom-build tier of Elkhorn — half-acre to multi-acre lots, custom architects, and consistently the priciest Elkhorn inventory. Strong fit for relocation executives, dual-income medical and finance households, and buyers prioritizing Elkhorn Public Schools at the top end. Zip code 68022.
Indian Creek & Indian Pointe
The estate-lot golf course community around Indian Creek Golf Course in northwest Elkhorn. Larger lots than the Pacific Corridor, custom builds from the 2000s-2010s, and the lifestyle-property pocket of Elkhorn. Strong fit for golf-priority households. Zip code 68022.
Skyline Ranches, Skyline Woods & Greenbrier
The established northern Elkhorn subdivisions, predominantly 1990s-2010s construction with mature landscaping, larger lots than the Pacific Corridor, and walking-distance access to Skyline Elementary. Family-driven inventory turnover and a more established neighborhood feel than the western frontier. Zip code 68022.
The Western Frontier — Past 204th
The newest-construction corridor of Elkhorn west of 204th Street — predominantly 2015-current builds on larger lots, often with active SID infrastructure levies layered onto the property tax base. The most-active new-construction inventory in the Douglas County side of the metro. Zip code 68022.

Why Elkhorn?
Elkhorn draws households for some combination of three things: the Elkhorn Public Schools district (consistently #1 or #2 in Nebraska for high schools per US News), predominantly newer construction with larger lots and modern floor plans, and the everyday convenience of West Omaha amenities clustered at 168th and West Dodge. The tradeoffs — Douglas County property taxes that run higher than neighboring Sarpy County (especially in newer subdivisions with separate infrastructure levies), a 20-to-35-minute commute if your job is downtown, and ongoing tornado-rebuild context in specific neighborhoods affected by the April 2024 EF4 — are honest and worth weighing.
If those tradeoffs align with what you're looking for, this is your search page. If you're still narrowing among Elkhorn, Bennington, Gretna, Bellevue, or other communities, start with the Omaha-metro relocation hub.
Elkhorn Search & Buying FAQ
The questions buyers actually ask when they land on this page — not the generic ones. Answered in my own words.
How do I save searches and get alerts for new Elkhorn listings?
Creating a free account on the site lets you save a search by sub-area, school assignment, price range, bedroom count, or any combination of filters, and I'll send new listings that match as they come on the market. Most Elkhorn clients save two or three searches — for example, a tight "must-see" filter on the Pacific corridor or The Prairies, and a wider "curious-about" filter across the new-construction frontier west of 204th. Saved searches beat refreshing manually, especially in the more active sub-areas.
What's the difference between this page and the Elkhorn city guide?
This page is the active-search page — current Elkhorn inventory with filters for what matters to you. The Elkhorn city guide is the editorial deep-dive: sub-area-by-sub-area breakdown from Olde Elkhorn to The Prairies, school district context, the SID property-tax reality, April 2024 tornado rebuild context, and current market data. If you already know you're searching Elkhorn, start here. If you're still narrowing between Elkhorn and other Omaha-metro communities, the relocation hub is the regional entry point.
Are these listings real-time?
Yes — the MLS feed updates throughout the day, so new Elkhorn listings typically appear here within hours of being entered into the Great Plains MLS. Status changes (active, pending, sold, price-reduced) reflect on a similar cadence. If you want the earliest possible notification on something specific, a saved search with email alerts beats refreshing manually — especially in The Prairies and the higher-end Pacific corridor where good inventory often moves under contract before broad market awareness.
How quickly can you show me an Elkhorn home?
For most Elkhorn listings, same-day or next-day showings are realistic — sometimes within hours if I'm available. Just send me the address or the listing link and I'll confirm with the listing agent. For relocating buyers who can't fly in, I run live walkthroughs over FaceTime, Zoom, or Google Meet as a standard part of my practice — not a workaround. Recorded property videos with narration are also available so a spouse or family member who can't make the live call can review later.
Do I have to use a buyer's agent? What's the cost?
You don't have to, but it's almost always in your interest. As your buyer's agent, my job is to represent you — pricing strategy, negotiation, inspection coordination, contract terms — not the seller. In Nebraska, buyer's agent commission is typically paid out of the seller's proceeds, so there's no direct out-of-pocket cost to most buyers. For new-construction purchases, having buyer representation matters even more — the on-site sales rep represents the builder, not you. We'll discuss representation up front and document the agreement in writing before showings begin.
What does the offer-to-close timeline look like in Elkhorn?
From accepted offer to closing on an existing Elkhorn home typically runs 30 to 45 days, occasionally 60 depending on lender and inspection findings. The major milestones: contract signed, earnest money deposited, inspection period (usually 7 to 10 days), appraisal, final loan approval, and closing. New construction is a different timeline — if you're buying from a builder on a home still being built, expect 6 to 9+ months depending on the build stage. I walk you through whichever path applies in real time.
What if a home I'm interested in isn't showing here?
A few possibilities. It may have been listed in the last hour and is still processing in the feed. It may be a "coming soon" listing held by a brokerage before it goes fully active — common in The Prairies and the higher-end Pacific corridor. Or it may be off-market entirely — a quiet listing, pocket listing among agents, or new-construction inventory not yet released to MLS by the builder. Send me the address or the source where you saw it, and I'll track it down through agent-to-agent and builder channels. A meaningful share of the Elkhorn homes I help buyers close on weren't in the public MLS at the moment they first asked about them.
Can I tour homes virtually if I'm relocating from out of state?
Yes — a meaningful share of my Elkhorn relocation clients buy a home without ever flying in. The toolkit: live FaceTime / Zoom walkthroughs with the freedom to ask "open that closet" or "show me the basement panel," recorded property videos with narration for spouses or family who can't make the live call, neighborhood drive videos covering the route from the home to the elementary school, Village Pointe, the nearest grocery, and your daily-commute destination, and inspection coordination with vetted local inspectors with my attendance at inspection.
Which Elkhorn sub-area should I be searching?
Depends on what matters most. If you want established mid-1990s through 2010s construction with mature landscaping: Olde Elkhorn (around 204th & West Dodge), Indian Creek (between 192nd and 204th), or the Pacific corridor (Pacific Springs, Pointe, Pines, Woods, Ridge). If you want active new construction with the option to customize: the western frontier west of 204th (Camden Grove, The Hamptons, Standing Bear Village, Falling Waters, and others). If you want luxury or semi-custom with HOA amenities: The Prairies, Five Fountains, The Sanctuary, or Tuscan Ridge. Most relocation conversations land on two or three sub-areas on the first call — we narrow from there. The Elkhorn guide breaks each sub-area down in detail.
Do you work with first-time buyers?
Yes — first-time buyers are a meaningful share of my practice. The first call is short and focused: your timeline, what you're looking for, your budget (both contract price and realistic monthly payment with Douglas County taxes, any applicable SID levy, and insurance included), and what the next 60 to 90 days could look like. No pressure, no follow-up campaigns. Either you decide Elkhorn is the right move and we keep working, or you decide it's not and you have a better read on where to look next.
Should I waive the inspection contingency?
Almost no scenario justifies waiving inspection on a home in this price range. A standard buyer-paid inspection in the Omaha metro runs $400 to $600 and takes two to three hours — a small fraction of the total transaction cost. I attend inspections (especially for relocating buyers who can't be there) so we can talk through findings in real time and decide what to request from the seller. For Elkhorn specifically, this matters in two patterns: (1) older Olde Elkhorn and early Pacific corridor inventory with 25+ year-old mechanicals, and (2) post-April-2024 tornado-area rebuilds where rebuild quality varies meaningfully across builders.
How do property taxes and SIDs work in Elkhorn?
Elkhorn is in Douglas County, where effective property tax rates typically run around 1.93 percent of fair market value. The Elkhorn-specific wrinkle: many newer subdivisions sit inside an active Sanitary Improvement District (SID) — a separate property tax levy that funds streets, water, and sewer infrastructure for the subdivision. On a $500,000 home in an SID, expect roughly $2,500 to $3,000 more per year than a comparable midtown Omaha home. Examples: SID-537 The Prairies, SID-523 Five Fountains, SID-520 The Sanctuary, SID-516 Camden Grove, SID-517 The Hamptons, with dozens more on the Douglas County Clerk's roster. Always pull the full annual tax burden on a specific address before finalizing your budget. The Elkhorn guide has a dedicated FAQ explaining how SIDs work.
What if I'm comparing Elkhorn to Bennington, Gretna, or another community?
Then start with the relocation hub. Elkhorn vs. Bennington is the most common direct comparison — similar new-construction profile, both Douglas County, similar infrastructure-levy context — with Bennington typically 10 to 20 percent cheaper for comparable inventory. Elkhorn vs. Gretna is the second most common — Gretna offers more land for less and Sarpy County's lower base tax rate, but adds 10 to 15 minutes of drive time and trades Elkhorn schools for Gretna Public Schools. Elkhorn vs. Papillion/La Vista usually comes down to a $50K to $100K price differential at comparable inventory level.
How's the Elkhorn market right now — buyers' or sellers'?
Market conditions shift quarter to quarter, so I won't list a current statistic on this page that goes stale the week after I post it. The honest answer: I'll give you a real read on what's actually moving (and what's sitting) at the time of your first call, with specific examples from the last 30 to 60 days. Elkhorn's market also varies meaningfully by sub-area and price tier — The Prairies at $1M+ behaves differently from Pacific corridor at $550K, and both behave differently from new construction past 204th. For broader context, see the Elkhorn guide market snapshot. For a current focused read on your specific price tier or sub-area, just reach out.
What's the easiest way to start a conversation?
A short call or a brief message — whichever is easiest for you. Tell me a little about your timeline, what you're looking for, and any constraints (sub-area preference, school assignment verification, commute target, budget, move-in window). The first call is informational, not a sales pitch. Most of my clients are still in the figuring-it-out stage when we first talk, and that's the right time to talk — there's more I can do for you in the early planning phase than once you've already fallen in love with a specific listing. (402) 841-9698 or derek@nebraskarealty.com.
I'm a Nebraska Realty agent based in the Omaha metro, with a focused practice on relocation buyers, families targeting specific school districts (Elkhorn Public Schools is a frequent draw), first-time homebuyers, and out-of-state households looking for a more livable midwest market. I work the entire Nebraska side of the metro every week — Omaha, Bellevue, Elkhorn, Papillion, La Vista, Gretna, Bennington, Ralston, and Springfield — with specific working knowledge of Elkhorn Public Schools attendance boundaries, the SID property-tax math on newer Elkhorn subdivisions, and post-tornado rebuild context. If you have a question this FAQ didn't cover, just ask.
