Habitat for Humanity of Omaha and its partners have completed development of Phase I of Bluestem Prairie, believed to be the largest nonprofit affordable “homeownership” development in Omaha. The neighborhood is located near 51st & Sorensen Parkway on the site of the former Wintergreen Apartments.
The Bluestem Prairie development, which has been in the making for more than five years, features more than 80 newly constructed homes that have helped families achieve homeownership. In 15 years, the project is expected to go from $0 in property valuation and tax revenue to more than $9 million in valuation and an annual tax income of $300.000.
Site development and infrastructure for Bluestem Prairie Phase II is underway. Construction on the next 64 homes is expected to begin in 2026.
