While almost completely surrounded by sprawling Omaha, Ralston is a separate city dating back to 1907. The location explains the city's motto, "The Heart of the Metro." Ralston is roughly five miles southwest of Downtown Omaha, making apartments in Ralston ideal for commuters. Some of the city's attractions include the Ralston Arena, home to the USHL Omaha Lancers hockey team as well as the NBLA Omaha Chargers. The arena also hosts other sports teams and events, concerts, and shows.
With a population of less than 6,000, Ralston is Omaha's best-kept secret. The city provides several large parks, including Ralston Park. This large park contains a playground, picnic areas with grills, ball fields, and walking trails. Other popular parks include Oak Park, Wildewood Park, and Ponderosa Park. Just outside the city along 72nd Street, Seymour Smith Park features a skate park, the Harry A. Koch Trap & Skeet, sports courts, ball fields, and a playground.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
