New Homes in Anchor View, Bennington NE
Anchor View sits about three blocks north of 168th and Ida Street in Bennington — and the main reason people choose it over the other two Regency communities in the area is simple: it overlooks Flanagan Lake. That’s 220 acres of water with 730 acres of surrounding public recreation land, and it’s visible from lots throughout the community.
It also falls in the Elkhorn School District, which separates it from Kempten Creek and Newport Vista. If Elkhorn schools are already on your list of requirements, this is the only Regency community in Bennington that qualifies.
Why Families Build in Anchor View
The outdoor access here is real — not just a marketing description on a plat map. Flanagan Lake has public boat access, not just a waterfront view. Walking and biking trails run through the neighborhood. There are playgrounds and youth sports fields built into the community layout.
For buyers moving from more urban parts of Omaha, Anchor View often comes as a surprise. The acreage feels open, the lake is right there, and you’re still 20-25 minutes from the I-680 loop via 168th to West Dodge. It’s one of the few Omaha-area new construction communities where you don’t have to choose between outdoor access and a reasonable commute.
Location: 3 blocks N of 168th & Ida Street, Bennington NE 68007

What Regency Builds in Anchor View
Anchor View is a Regency Homes community, which means you start with a plan from one of our three collections — then make it yours before we break ground.
The Trilogy Collection is the most popular choice in Anchor View. It's our semi-custom line: you pick a floor plan, then adjust layouts, add or remove rooms within limits, and work through thousands of finish selections — cabinetry, countertops, flooring, fixtures — from vendor showrooms. Floor plans in the Trilogy Collection start at 1,644 sq ft and go up from there, with ranch and two-story options available.
The Encore Collection starts in the low $400s and is built around a straightforward selection process — good for buyers who want a clear, predictable path from contract to close.
The Forever Collection is designed for buyers who want single-level living — no steps, no stress. It's a popular choice for buyers downsizing into a newer build.

The Regency Building Process
Building a home involves more decisions than most buyers expect. Here’s how Regency structures the process:
Step 1 — Choose Your Lot and Plan You’ll work with a New Home Counselor to select a lot in Anchor View and choose a floor plan from our Trilogy, Encore, or Forever collections. For Trilogy buyers, this is also where structural adjustments happen — before estimates are finalized.
Step 2 — Design Selections Regency provides an extensive selection guide booklet that walks you through every finish decision. You’ll visit vendor showrooms to select cabinetry, countertops, flooring, fixtures, and more. Pre-construction meetings keep you involved before the build starts.
Step 3 — Construction and Communication Your dedicated construction superintendent manages the build on-site. You’ll have frequent contact with your New Home Counselor throughout the process, plus scheduled job site meetings so you can see progress firsthand.
Most Trilogy Collection homes run approximately 5–7 months from contract to closing under normal conditions. Your superintendent will give you a realistic schedule at kickoff — not an estimate that slips.
5 Questions to Ask Any New Home Builder in Bennington
Before you sign with any builder, these are worth asking directly:
1. Who manages my build on-site, and how do I reach them? With Regency, you’re assigned a dedicated construction superintendent from groundbreaking to walk-through. They’re the person you call, and they answer.
2. Are design selections handled before or after I sign? At Regency, finish selections happen before construction starts — not as change orders after you’re committed. Changes mid-build cost more and cause delays at every builder, so this process protects you.
3. What’s actually included in the base price? Ask for an itemized spec sheet. Some builders advertise low base prices and upgrade everything. At Regency, the standard specs are clearly defined before you select upgrades.
4. What’s the warranty on the home? Regency offers post-construction customer service and warranty coverage. Ask your New Home Counselor for the current warranty terms specific to your plan.
5. How long has this builder been operating in this market? Regency has been building in the Omaha metro since 1961 — over 6,000 homes across 60+ years. In a market with 17 builders active in Bennington alone, longevity and local track record matter when you’re choosing who to trust with a 5-7 month project.
