Omaha-based 4 Corners Development has become a standout name in Nebraska’s residential landscape, known for creating communities that blend thoughtful planning, natural beauty, and long-term value. With developments across eastern Nebraska, the company focuses on designing neighborhoods where homeowners feel connected to their homes, their surroundings, and each other. The company’s portfolio includes Ashbury Hills and Capehart Ridge along with two of their most distinctive projects: Courtyards at Iron Horse in Ashland, Nebraska, and Falcon Heights in Lincoln, Nebraska.
“We work directly with builders to develop and create neighborhoods where people are attracted and want to raise their families,” said Peter Katt, 4 Corners Development principal. “We find great locations and create the lots for builders and then jointly work with real estate agents to connect the new homes with individuals, families, and start a new community.”
Among 4 Corners Development’s signature communities, Courtyards at Iron Horse stands out for its breathtaking setting and lifestyle-driven design. Located in Ashland, Nebraska, this planned neighborhood is part of the larger Iron Horse area, known as one of the most scenic residential destinations in the eastern part of the state.
Perched on a hill overlooking the Platte River valley, the development offers views of Mahoney State Park, a 40-acre lake, and the award winning Iron Horse Golf Course. “It’s a rare combination of natural beauty and modern convenience,” said Marcy Teply, real estate agent with LUXE Real Estate Group of Woods Bros Realty, which works with 4 Corners Development. “These homes offer snow removal and lawn care services, trash and recycling pickup, and great views along with planned amenities on Iron Horse Golf Course.”
Teply, along with fellow Wood Bros Realty agent Jessica Southwick, said future plans include room for a clubhouse and gym facilities in a great school district with easy access to both Lincoln and Omaha. The Courtyards at Iron Horse are designed for homeowners who want low maintenance living without sacrificing style or quality. Homes in this community feature open-floor plans, high-end finishes, and outdoor spaces that take advantage of the surrounding landscape.
The architectural consistency throughout the neighborhood ensures long-term value while still allowing for personalization through preferred builders Signature Builders and Five and Five. While amenities are great selling points for this and other 4 Corners developments, convenience is what really sets Courtyards at Iron Horse apart.
“What makes Iron Horse especially appealing is its location,” Southwick said. “Ashland sits almost exactly between Omaha and Lincoln, making it ideal for commuters or families who want small town charm with easy access to urban amenities. Plus, Ashland has done a tremendous job building up and creating a beautiful downtown full of shops, restaurants, and frequent events. There is something for everyone here.”
In Lincoln, Falcon Heights represents another strong example of 4 Corners Development’s commitment to building neighborhoods that balance practicality and beauty. Located in a rapidly growing area of north Lincoln, Falcon Heights will offer homeowners a mix of modern design, accessibility, and community-focused planning. “We took a different approach with Falcon Heights; we wanted to make the price the amenity and provide people a more easily attainable owned home option, so they are able to make house, not rent payments,” Katt said. “These are new, but they were designed and built to compete with the current 50-60-year-old ‘starter’ homes.”
Falcon Heights will appeal to a wide range of homeowners, from young families and young professionals to downsizers, thanks to its thoughtful layout and proximity to schools, parks, and major roadways. For instance, families appreciate the neighborhood’s quiet streets and access to green spaces, while commuters value the quick connection to downtown Lincoln, Interstate 80, and other major routes.
Builders in Falcon Heights offer a variety of floor plans, including ranch style homes and two story designs, giving buyers flexibility to choose what best fits their lifestyle. “One example of the community’s appeal is the emphasis on cohesive design,” Katt said. “Homes are crafted with modern materials and clean architectural lines, creating a unified look that enhances curb appeal. At the same time, the development allows for customization, ensuring each home feels personal and tailored. This balance of structure and flexibility is a hallmark of 4 Corners Development’s approach.”
Across all its communities, 4 Corners Development focuses on creating neighborhoods that feel intentional, livable, and enduring. Whether it’s the resort-like atmosphere of Iron Horse or the affordable designs of Falcon Heights, each development reflects a commitment to quality craftsmanship and long term community value. Katt added, “With projects like these, 4 Corners Development continues to shape the future of residential living in Nebraska—one thoughtfully designed neighborhood at a time.”
