Skyline Ranches Real Estate | Skyline Ranches Homes for Sale

In the early 1960’s, real estate developer Slim Thornton saw the need for a community of acreages near the city of Omaha but truly “in the country”. He found such a site south of West Dodge Road and north of Pacific Street from Skyline Drive eastward to Highway 6. He envisioned the area to be populated primarily by horse owners and established an SID with one to five acre lots on a meandering, trail system which connected them to each other and a central corral and social center. It was named Skyline Ranches, and lots sold quickly. Covenants required larger homes which were allowed latitude in style and landscaping. Barns were encouraged, giving thethe original site. With smaller lots and common setbacks, it provides a more suburban ambiance. It has its own property owners association, known as Chapel Hill and Rogers Ridge, and does not have access to the trail, corral, and park services provided by Skyline Ranches. Many homes are comparable to those found in Skyline Ranches with prices ranging from $150,000 to $250,000

Shopping, entertainment, restaurants, and public education are nearby for both developments. An Elkhorn Grade School is within walking distance of both communities while Valley View Middle School and Elkhorn South High School are a short drive away. Several parochial schools and churches of many denominations are located in Elkhorn as is a campus for the Metropolitan Community College.
