New Homes in Kempten Creek, Bennington NE
Kempten Creek is at 165th Street and Bennington Road — the largest of the three active Regency communities in Bennington, and the one that gives buyers the most flexibility in lot selection. It’s in the Bennington School District, same as Newport Vista. The difference between the two comes down to size and character: Kempten Creek is bigger, backs up to a regional park, and has more phases actively under development.
For buyers who want a Bennington address with Bennington schools and don’t need to be walking distance from the school or looking at a lake, Kempten Creek is usually the right call.
Why Families Build in Kempten Creek
The community borders a regional park on one side, which keeps that edge permanently open. View lots are available throughout — not on every street, but there’s enough variety in lot positioning that it’s worth asking specifically when you call.
Being the larger community in Bennington has a practical advantage: more active phases means more timing flexibility. If you’re not ready to build for another six months, there’s a better chance a lot you’d want is still available at Kempten Creek than at the smaller Newport Vista.

What Regency Builds in Kempten Creek
Like all Regency communities, Kempten Creek is built from our three plan collections. Here’s how they break down:
The Trilogy Collection is the semi-custom option. You pick a base floor plan, then adjust it — expand the primary suite, shift walls within limits, add or remove a bedroom — and work through finish selections at vendor showrooms. The selection guide booklet Regency provides covers every decision, from kitchen cabinetry to exterior colors. Floor plans start at 1,644 sq ft with ranch and two-story options.
The Encore Collection starts in the low $400s and gives buyers a clear, structured process. Less variation in layout, but still personalized through finish selections.
The Forever Collection is single-level and designed around ease of living — a popular choice for buyers who are done with stairs and want a new home built to last.

The Regency Building Process
Step 1 — Lot and Plan Selection Your New Home Counselor helps you identify the right lot in Kempten Creek and choose a plan collection. Trilogy buyers work through structural adjustments at this stage — before estimates lock in.
Step 2 — Design Selections You’ll receive Regency’s selection guide booklet and work through finish choices at vendor showrooms: cabinetry, countertops, flooring, tile, fixtures. Pre-construction meetings make sure you’re involved and informed before the first shovel goes in.
Step 3 — Build and Communication A dedicated construction superintendent manages your build on-site from groundbreaking to walk-through. Scheduled job site meetings and regular contact through your New Home Counselor keep you up to date throughout.
Typical build time for Trilogy Collection homes is 5–7 months from contract to close under normal conditions.
5 Questions to Ask Any New Home Builder in Bennington
1. How do you handle design selections — before or after I sign? At Regency, selections happen before construction begins. Changes made mid-build cost more and take longer at any builder. The up-front process protects your budget.
2. Who is my point of contact during the build? Regency assigns a dedicated construction superintendent to your home from start to finish. You also have a New Home Counselor for ongoing communication throughout the process.
3. What’s actually standard versus an upgrade? Ask for an itemized spec sheet before you commit. Some builders use low base prices and upgrade almost everything. Regency’s standard specs are clearly defined — you know what you’re getting before you select add-ons.
4. Can I make structural changes to the floor plan? With the Trilogy Collection, yes — within limits and before construction starts. Your New Home Counselor will walk you through what’s adjustable and what isn’t on the plan you’re considering.
5. What’s the builder’s track record in this market? Regency has been building in the Omaha metro since 1961 — over 6,000 homes and 60+ years of operation. In a market with multiple builders active in Bennington, that kind of tenure matters when you’re choosing who builds a home you’ll live in for decades.

About Bennington, NE
Bennington sits at the northwest edge of Douglas County, about 20-25 minutes from the I-680 loop via 168th Street and West Dodge Road. It’s grown quickly over the past decade — new construction demand in the area is driven by families who want Omaha-area access without paying west Omaha resale prices, and by buyers seeking specific school districts.
