Leading Home Builder Springfield, NE
Home builder Springfield, NE families work with when they want a new build rather than a resale, and that distinction matters more here than in most of the metro. Springfield holds about 1,542 residents inside 1.62 square miles, so listings are scarce and turnover is slow. Anyone searching homes for sale in Springfield NE runs into the same wall fairly quickly: there is not much on the market at any given moment. Building is often the more realistic path, and Regency Homes has been doing exactly that across Sarpy County for six decades as a semi-custom home builder.
Our closest work to Springfield has been at Springfield Pines, five minutes south of Highway 370 at 132nd and Platteview Road, in the Springfield Platteview district with coved park-like streets and country lots. Lot availability there changes, so call before you plan around it.
For buyers who want to stay in this corner of Sarpy County, we also build a short drive north along the Highway 50 and Highway 370 corridors. Current lots, floor plans and move-in ready homes across every one of our communities are listed on our available homes page.

Where Regency Builds Near Springfield
Springfield sits south of the metro on Highway 50, about five miles down from I-80 exit 440. That position is the whole appeal and also the reason our communities cluster just north of it rather than inside the city limits, where the buildable inventory is limited.
Founders Ridge at 126th and Highway 370 is the closest, a straight run north on Highway 50. It backs onto Prairie Queen Lake and Recreation Area for hiking, biking and fishing, sits next to Werner Ball Park where the Omaha Storm Chasers play, and puts you minutes from I-80. Our model home there is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday through Sunday, noon to 5pm, showing the Sterling 1893 and Brookside 2990. You can get directions to the Founders Ridge model before you drive out.
Granite Creek at 108th and Lincoln Road and Sumtur Crossing at 114th and Schramm Road are the other two nearby, both in the Papillion La Vista district and both built around the Walnut Creek Recreation area and Sumtur Amphitheater. All three sit in our Papillion communities, which is the page to check if you are willing to trade Springfield Platteview for Papillion La Vista.

About Springfield, NE
Springfield was platted in 1873 by Captain James Dawson Spearman, a Civil War veteran who bought 160 acres once he learned the Missouri Pacific Railroad was coming through. The springs nearby gave the town its name. By 1882 it had 300 residents, and by the turn of the century it had an opera house, a hotel, two banks and several saloons.
It has stayed deliberately small. The 2020 census counted 1,501 residents and current estimates put it near 1,542, spread across 1.62 square miles in Sarpy County at an elevation of 1,109 feet. Median household income is about $92,955 and the median age is 34.2, which is younger than most towns this size. Sarpy County around it is the fastest-growing county in Nebraska, with a population that went from 190,604 in 2020 to an estimated 208,303 by 2025, so Springfield is a quiet town inside a fast metro rather than an isolated one.
The Sarpy County Fair is the annual centerpiece, running five days at the Sarpy County Fairgrounds in Springfield every summer and drawing crowds from across the region for livestock shows, 4-H exhibits, mutton bustin’, tractor pulls and a demolition derby. The MoPac Trail starts in town and runs south to the Platte River through farmland and wooded riverbank, open to walking, cycling and horseback riding, and it forms part of the longer planned Omaha to Lincoln connection. Main Street still functions as a real main street rather than a preserved one. If you want more on what building in the smaller Sarpy towns actually involves, our blog covers process questions in more detail.
Springfield Platteview Community Schools
The district is small on purpose and that is most of its appeal. Springfield Platteview Community Schools serves roughly 1,233 students across four schools with a student to teacher ratio of about 13 to 1, which is lower than the state average.
| School | Grades |
|---|---|
| Springfield Elementary School | Preschool to 6 |
| Westmont Elementary School | Preschool to 6 |
| Platteview Central Jr. High School | 7 to 8 |
| Platteview High School | 9 to 12 |
The numbers hold up against the state. Math proficiency runs 74% districtwide against a Nebraska average of 58%, reading runs 60% against a 47% state average, and the graduation rate sits at 95%. That combination puts the district in the top 10% of Nebraska’s 245 school districts on combined proficiency. Per-student spending is about $14,839.
District boundaries in this part of Sarpy County do not follow city lines cleanly, and a lot depends on which side of a road it falls on. Contact us with a specific address and we will confirm the assignment before you commit.
Why Build New in Springfield?
Start with the supply problem. Springfield had 604 housing units at the last full count in a city of roughly 1,500 people. When you search house for sale in Springfield NE, you are looking at a handful of listings competing against every other family who wants Springfield Platteview schools and acreage-style lots. Waiting for the right resale to appear can take longer than building.
Land is the second reason. This is one of the few places in the metro where larger, country-style lots are still realistically priced, because you are outside the 168th to 204th Street development band where land costs have climbed hardest. Buyers searching land for sale in Springfield NE are usually working out the same math we are: the lot premium here is lower, so more of your budget goes into the house.
Third is the commute, which is better than the town’s size suggests. I-80 exit 440 is about five miles north on Highway 50, which puts downtown Omaha and Lincoln both in reach, and Highway 370 runs east toward Bellevue and Offutt Air Force Base. If you are comparing Springfield against the closer-in suburbs, Bellevue and La Vista are the two most common alternatives buyers weigh it against, though both trade the small-town feel for shorter drives.
Visit unique shops and restaurants that line brick paved streets in Olde Towne Elkhorn or partake in outdoor recreation such as golfing at Indian Creek Golf course or tubing down the Elkhorn river. Easy access to the Omaha via the Maple street and Dodge street roadway system.
