20th-century styles along Riverside Drive
The real estate market in Culver is desirable for its entry-level pricing and proximity to downtown Evansville. “The market is unique here,” says Hooper, who has been selling in the area for over a decade. “It can seem like a competitive market to buy in like any limited inventory environment, but knowing the asset, owning a historic home, can help.” Most homes in Culver were constructed in the early 1900s, resulting in architectural designs like Queen Annes and Victorians, and later Cape Cods, bungalows, and Prairie styles. With an average sales price of $130,000, homes in Culver are priced at $400,000 less than the majority of properties sold in the US. Home prices vary depending on their location within the neighborhood. On the eastern side of the neighborhood, older houses can go for as low as $50,000 for a fixer-upper, while on the western side along Riverside Drive—where there's been more recent development—prices reflect larger lot sizes and can cost upwards of $300,000. Homes often feature detached garages and small lawns with paved entryways and backyard fencing. Streets are equipped with paved sidewalks, which lead residents to the Culver Family Learning Center at its center.
