Millard balances a neighborly feel with big-city convenience, set along the southwest side of Omaha. Tree-lined streets and well-kept parks make daily life feel relaxed, while quick access to major corridors shortens commutes. Weekend plans are easy: trails loop around Lake Zorinsky, youth sports fill local fields, and the citywide park system keeps playgrounds, courts, and green space in steady rotation through the year via the City of Omaha’s Parks and Recreation department.
Outdoor lovers can also tap the extensive paths, fishing, and wildlife viewing at the nearby Chalco Hills Recreation Area, managed by the Papio-Missouri River NRD. Getting around is straightforward, with service from Metro Transit, and everyday amenities—from groceries to coffee—dot the main crossroads.
Families are drawn to the area for its highly regarded Millard Public Schools, known for strong academics, robust arts, and standout athletics. Flagship campuses like Millard West High School offer Advanced Placement courses, award-winning extracurriculars, and modern facilities. Lifelong learners and book lovers gravitate to the Millard branch of the Omaha Public Library system for story times, community programming, and a steady calendar of events.
