The Country Club Historic District: Omaha's Brick Tudor Pocket

Neighborhood Guide  ·  Chris Jamison, Nebraska Realty  ·  2026

The Country Club neighborhood in Omaha is small. Small enough that if you blink driving up 56th Street, you might miss it. But for a certain kind of buyer, it's the only neighborhood in Omaha that scratches a very specific itch: a brick Tudor with an attached garage, a sweeping roofline, mature trees out front, and neighbors who go all-in on Halloween. If that's the home you've been picturing, this is one of the three places in Omaha where you actually find them.

Where the Country Club Neighborhood Actually Is

The Country Club Historic District sits in north-central Omaha, tucked between Benson to the west and the Aksarben/Elmwood area to the south. The boundaries are tight: Blondo Street on the south, Radial Highway on the north, 52nd Street on the east, and 56th Street on the west. It's a true pocket — only a handful of blocks deep — which is part of why most Omahans have heard the name but couldn't tell you exactly where it is.

The name comes from the original Omaha Country Club, which had its grounds in this part of the city before the club relocated farther north. The land was platted into a residential neighborhood in the late 1920s and early 1930s, which is why so many of the homes you see today share that same era of design — and why the streets have that older, settled-in feel you can't fake with a new build.

The Brick Tudors — Why Buyers Hunt This Neighborhood

This is the real reason people ask me about Country Club. The homes here are predominantly brick Tudors with attached garages and dramatic, sweeping rooflines — the kind of houses that look like they belong on a Christmas card. Many still have the original character details: leaded glass, arched doorways, hardwood floors, real plaster walls. The bones are good and the craftsmanship is what you'd expect from homes built when "good enough" wasn't really part of the construction vocabulary.

If you've been searching for that specific style, three Omaha neighborhoods come up over and over — and Country Club is one of them. The other two:

• Metcalfe Park — south and southeast of Country Club, very similar housing stock, similar price points. Closest cousin.
• Morton Meadows — further south, sitting between Leavenworth and Center just south of the Med Center. Different pocket of the city, but similar Tudor housing stock.
• Dundee — bigger homes, more architectural variety, more money. Dundee Tudors exist, but at a Dundee price.

If you want the exact Country Club look without the Country Club competition, Dundee is the upgrade and Metcalfe Park is the lateral move. Country Club itself sits comfortably in the middle on price.

Living Here — Halloween, Schools, and the Day-to-Day

For such a small neighborhood, Country Club punches above its weight on community feel. Halloween in particular: residents do it up. Full decorations, real setups, the works. It's the kind of place where people walk to each other's houses on a Saturday evening and actually know their neighbors' kids' names.

A few things worth knowing about daily life here:

• Schools: The neighborhood is part of Omaha Public Schools, with Rose Hill Elementary as the main grade school. (If you're sorting through districts more broadly, see our guide to Omaha school districts.)
• Location: Radial Highway is right there, so downtown is about a ten-minute drive. The Benson strip — bars, restaurants, music — is a quick walk or short drive west, which is one of the best perks of living here.
• Green space: Gallagher Park and Metcalfe Park are both close — those are the two to call out. Tree-lined streets and walkable blocks round out the neighborhood feel.
• Vibe: Quiet, not sleepy. You'll see people out walking dogs and kids on bikes. It's not a "scene" neighborhood — it's a "we live here and we love it" neighborhood.

The Country Club Real Estate Market

Realistically, most Country Club homes sell in the $300,000 to $450,000 range, with larger or fully renovated homes pushing higher. The neighborhood is small enough that inventory is genuinely thin — homes don't come up often, and when they do, the buyers who've been hunting for a brick Tudor tend to move quickly.

A few things buyers should keep in mind before making an offer here:

• Be ready to move. When the right home hits the market, it doesn't sit. Pre-approval matters.
• Older systems mean inspection homework. Plaster walls, original windows, and aging mechanicals are part of the territory. Worth budgeting for.
• Garages are smaller. An attached garage in a 1930s home is a charming feature — and often a one-car. Set expectations.
• Lot sizes are decent. Better than most in-town neighborhoods, often with mature landscaping that takes 80 years to grow.
