A little about the ranch house style

This article talks about how the ranch style house came to popularity in the 1920's and was a fusion of modernist architecture and the sensibilities of working ranches. Ranch homes are typically long and narrow, with a very low profile roof line. Sometimes you'll see an L-shaped portion of the house where the garage juts out into the driveway.

There are several good neighborhoods to look into if you're wanting to find an Omaha ranch home. A good place to start is the south side of Omaha, such as Papillion-La Vista. You'll find some great rancher neighborhoods in Ralston and Millard as well.
