Papillion is a great place to call home and raise a family.  Overland Hills has 5 different phases with over 750 homes.  Here is a market recap for Overland Hills in Papillion, Nebraska for 2008. As you know 2008 wasn't the best year for real estate, however, there were 37 homes sold in 2008 or up 8% from 34 in 2007.  Currently, as of February 24, 2009, there are 7 active listings and 2 homes sold since January 1, 2009.

Amid mixed feelings, Dr. Jack's officially opened a new tattoo parlor in downtown Papillion on January 14, 2009.   Mayor Blinn was present for the ribbon cutting ceremony.  Many Papillion residents objected to the idea of a tattoo shop in Papillion fearing it will mar the city's clean-cut, small town image and will be a negative attraction for the local youth.   The objectors noted that the store is located just a few blocks from the junior high.  At today's ceremony some people expressed the opinion that in a year the big flurry of concern will be forgotten.   Troy Trumm, Trumm Team - Omaha, NE Omaha Homes For Sale Omaha Real Estate   01/17/2009

There are a lot a different communities and subdivisions to live in Omaha, NE.  Papillion Nebraska is where I chose to buy a home and raise a family.  So as local Papillion Realtor, I decided to create a webpage just for the Papillion La Vista area.  Some of the things, I liked about Papillion is the small town feel with lower crime rates and quality schools.  Now with the recent additions of local shopping and restaurants at Shadow Lake Towne Center, I think Papillion has greatly improved over the past couple of years.  If you live in Papillion, I would love to hear what you like.

A few weeks back I was invited by Papillion La Vista School District to an informational meeting for Papillion Realtors.  One topic discussed was the proposed change in school district boundaries.  One question asked was "Why does PLSD need to change the boundary?"  Their response was the majority of Papillion's growth is south of Cornhusker, by changing the boundary now will help equalize the student population between the two high schools in the future.             There was an article in the Omaha World Herald about the proposed boundary changes.  If you live in or considering moving to Eagle Hills, Eagle Ridge and Cottonwood this boundary change will affect you.   10/14/2008
