Salary and Western Nebraska

can someone who makes 70 grand purchase a nice family home (3 bedroom, 2 bathrooms) in Western Omaha? And, if Western Omaha a really nice area? I have to decide if I really want to make that amount of cash and give up all that I have here in WV. Thank you all for your response.

I think you could find a nice place in Omaha with that salary. Omaha%26#39;s got a lot of areas that would work for you.

Omaha%26#39;s got some pretty affordable houses (though we do have high property taxes).

Here%26#39;s a place in NW Omaha (just to give you an idea)

A 130K house in Omaha (with taxes and insurance) might run you between 1100 and 1200 a month (depending on your interest rate of course).

Omaha%26#39;s a nice town. Good schools and a good place to raise a family. Always something going on in the city to do.

Good luck on your decision

Well the house can afford is all different based on your net worth, down payment etc etc. But that being said - you can actually purchase new construction in west Omaha and Sarpy county starting at about $125 - 130K ( 3 BR 2 Ba 1200 Sq ft ).

Property Taxes will be higher if you are in the Elkhorn or Gretna school districts however.

The growth part of west Omaha is pretty much west of 156th street and pretty much every neighborhood is %26#39;nice%26#39; and all the schools are very good and there is plenty of shopping. Other nice areas are the Gretna area which is farther southwest and more convenient to Lincoln and the Elkhorn area that is at the west edge ( newly annexed by Omaha ) town.

Another area with a lot of growth would be the Papillion / La Vista area of Sarpy county, homes are similar and I think a little less in cost than West Omaha for the same house.

There are a lot of existing homes on the market in Omaha %26#39; near west %26#39; that are 20 - 50 years old as well.

Drop me a direct message if you want some more detailed info or contacts.
