Oak Hills offers a peaceful, tree‑lined setting with quick connections to the amenities of Council Bluffs and the employment centers of Omaha. Tucked within the rolling landscape of Pottawattamie County, residents enjoy an easy commute via I‑29 and I‑80 while coming home to quiet streets and spacious yards.
Weekends here often start outdoors. Lake Manawa State Park’s trails, beach, and boat launches make it a favorite for paddling, cycling, and family picnics, all maintained by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources at the well‑kept Lake Manawa State Park. Nature lovers also head north to the ridge‑top boardwalks and raptor lookouts at the county’s Hitchcock Nature Center, a four‑season destination for hiking, birding, and stargazing.
Families appreciate strong local education options. The Lewis Central Community School District is known for robust academics, arts, and athletics, with modern facilities and active parent involvement. For continuing education, workforce training, and transfer programs, Iowa Western Community College provides an accessible campus, concerts, and community events. Everyday conveniences are close by—shopping and dining in Council Bluffs, a full slate of programs at the Council Bluffs Public Library, and regional healthcare across the metro.
