Keystone, Omaha, Residential district in north central Omaha, United States
Keystone is a residential neighborhood in north central Omaha with clearly defined borders created by five surrounding streets. The area contains single-family homes, local shops, and public green spaces distributed throughout the district.
William A. Paxton established the Keystone Stock Farm here in 1883 to breed and train horses on his property. The land was converted into a residential neighborhood called Keystone Park in 1907, though the original name persisted in local usage.
The neighborhood takes its name from the early stock farm that once operated here, and residents maintain a sense of connection to this heritage. Local community groups organize regular gatherings that bring neighbors together throughout the year.
The neighborhood is walkable with a network of pedestrian and cycling paths connecting different areas. The Keystone Trail that starts in Democracy Park provides a pleasant route through the district for visitors exploring on foot or by bike.
The five-sided shape of the neighborhood echoes the layout of the original horse training track that occupied this site during the stock farm era. This unusual boundary pattern remains visible in how the streets are organized today.
