Commercial suburb along Diamond Avenue
Pigeon Creek hugs the northern border of this Evansville suburb, flowing into the Ohio River that settles just south of “River City”—Evansville's nickname. The community of Diamond-Stringtown, is desirable for its entry-level housing, easy access to the Town Center North shopping center, and proximity to downtown. “Evansville is very affordable compared to many places in the U.S.,” says Kendra Bisesi, Realtor with Angel Team Realty. Whether grabbing a quick snack at Everest Market or a home-style meal from Libby & Mom’s, living along Diamond Avenue has its perks. Landmarks, like Garvin Park—for a lakeside stroll —and the Merry Go Round Restaurant —a family-owned eatery open for over 70 years—both contribute to this community's casual ambiance. And with U.S. Route 41 just east, daily commutes into downtown are accessible within a 3-mile or 10-minute drive. “Our location also makes traveling to major cities like Indianapolis, Louisville, Nashville or St. Louis a breeze,” adds Bisesi, who has been selling in Evansville for over three years.
