New Homes in Calarosa, Elkhorn NE
Calarosa sits at 204th and Fort Street on the west edge of Elkhorn. It is the Regency community for buyers who want new construction without giving up everyday convenience. The Maple Street shopping corridor is about three miles out, so grocery runs and weeknight dinners do not turn into a production, and West Dodge keeps the rest of the metro within easy reach. Homesites come in flat, walkout, and daylight configurations, which gives you real options for a finished lower level.
For most buyers here, though, the Elkhorn Public Schools district is the headline. Elkhorn ranks in the top 1% of Nebraska’s school districts for combined math and reading proficiency, and in 2026 US News ranked all three Elkhorn high schools in the top three statewide. If schools are driving your search, Calarosa puts you inside that district on the convenient, established west side of the metro.
Because Calarosa is a Regency community, you start with a plan from one of our collections and adjust it before we break ground, rather than settling for whatever a spec builder happens to have standing. You can see current lots and move-in options across Elkhorn on the available homes page.
Why Families Build in Calarosa
Two things bring buyers to Calarosa: location and schools. On location, the draw is that it handles daily life without a long drive. Three miles to the Maple Street corridor covers groceries, dining, and errands, Village Pointe shopping and theater are close, and the West Dodge system puts downtown and the rest of west Omaha within a short commute. It is a practical spot rather than a remote one.
The lot mix matters too. Calarosa offers flat, walkout, and daylight homesites, so if a finished walkout basement is on your list, there are lots built for it here. Ranch buyers have room as well, which is worth knowing because ranch inventory in Elkhorn moves quickly. Check the current lot list before you settle on a plan.
And then there are the schools. Elkhorn’s top-1%-in-Nebraska ranking and its three top-3 high schools are the single biggest reason families choose this area over other west Omaha new-construction options.

The Regency Building Process
Step 1 — Choose Your Lot and Plan. You work with a New Home Counselor to select a lot in Calarosa and a floor plan from the Trilogy, Encore, or Forever collections. For Trilogy buyers, structural adjustments happen here, before estimates are finalized.
Step 2 — Design Selections. Regency provides a full selection guide and walks you through every finish decision at vendor showrooms, with pre-construction meetings that keep you involved before the build starts.
Step 3 — Construction and Communication. A dedicated construction superintendent manages your build on-site from groundbreaking to walkthrough, with frequent contact and scheduled job-site meetings so you see progress firsthand.
Most Trilogy Collection homes run about 5 to 7 months from contract to closing under normal conditions.
5 Questions to Ask Any New Home Builder in Elkhorn
1. Who manages my build on-site, and how do I reach them? With Regency, a dedicated construction superintendent runs your build start to finish. They are the person you call, and the person coordinating your subcontractors on-site.
2. Are design selections handled before or after I sign? At Regency, finish selections happen before construction starts, not as change orders after you are committed. That protects your budget and your timeline.
3. What is actually included in the base price? Ask for an itemized spec sheet. Regency’s in-house design and estimating team locks your pricing and upgrades in before you sign.
4. What warranty comes with the home? Regency includes a 4-phase warranty on every new home. Ask your New Home Counselor for the specifics tied to your plan.
5. How long has this builder been operating here? Regency has been building in the Omaha metro since 1962, more than 60 years and 5,000-plus homes. In a competitive Elkhorn market, local track record matters when you are trusting someone with a multi-month build.
About Elkhorn, NE
Elkhorn sits on the west edge of the Omaha metro and still reads as its own town rather than another Omaha zip code. It ran its own government from 1886 until Omaha began annexation in 2005; the fight went to the Nebraska Supreme Court, and Elkhorn officially became part of Omaha on March 1, 2007. That history is why Olde Towne Elkhorn has kept its brick-paved Main Street, small shops, and local restaurants.
The Elkhorn River runs along the community’s edge, with tubing and kayaking outfitters running trips through the summer, and Indian Creek, a 27-hole public golf course on N 202nd Street, anchors the west side with a restaurant and event space. For buyers, though, the schools are the draw: Elkhorn Public Schools serves about 11,455 students across 20 schools and ranks in the top 1% of Nebraska districts, with all three high schools ranked top three in the state by US News in 2026. Everyday needs sit close to Calarosa, with the Maple Street corridor about three miles out and Village Pointe shopping nearby.
