Flatwater Lake

Flatwater Lake – Spring-Fed, Deep Water

About Flatwater Lake
Flatwater Lake isn’t your average lake community. It’s centered around an 87-acre lake that was carefully developed for both beauty and function. With spring-fed water reaching depths of up to 50 feet, the lake maintains a refreshing clarity that’s ideal for recreation.
Surrounding the lake are 131 spacious, single-family home lots, all positioned above the floodplain—meaning no flood insurance required. Each lot offers direct lake access, stunning views, and the opportunity to build a truly custom home.
And the best part? Despite the serene vibe, you’re less than 30 minutes from Omaha’s city center and 15 minutes from West Shores Lake. Morning paddleboard sessions and downtown dinner plans in the same day? Absolutely.
