Small-town development in eastern Evansville

The Evansville neighborhood of Eastview is known for its small-town feel and affordable housing options. “It's a desirable neighborhood for its proximity to downtown and its convenient access to parks and schools,” says Kimberly Redding, real estate agent at Star Real Estate Sales & Service. Bisected by East Riverside Drive, the community is also bordered to the south by Interstate 69 and by Pollack Avenue to the north, providing residents with direct access to major thoroughfares. For a more diverse offering of restaurants and entertainment, locals can take I-69 the 7-miles across the Ohio River into Henderson, Kentucky in less than 15 minutes by car, or head into downtown Evansville, about 5-miles away, in about 11 minutes. The community is also home to the Eastview Neighborhood Association, which implements projects like the posting of neighborhood watch signs and coordinated trash clean-ups in Vallan Park.

Traditional ramblers and Cape Cods

The real estate market in Eastview is attractive for its entry-level pricing. “The market is still very competitive in Eastview,” says Redding, who has been selling in the area for over 25 years. “There are a few vacant lots being provided by Habitat for Humanity, Memorial Community Development Corporation and the Evansville Housing Authority.” Most homes in Eastview were constructed in the 1950s, resulting in modest designs like cottages and ranch-styles. With a median sales price of $130,000, homes in Eastview cost about $40,000 less than the average property in the Evansville metro area, in part due to their smaller lot sizes and less square footage. Here, prospective buyers can find a two-bedroom cottage in need of renovations for close to $50,000, while a turn-key three-bedroom ranch-style can go for upwards of $200,000. Most homes in Eastview feature small lawns, and some don fences for added privacy. Parking in Eastview varies, with some homes equipped with paved driveways and attached garages, while others may feature gravel lots. The area is primarily residential, with narrow streets branching off Pollack Avenue into a traditional grid pattern.

Most single-family homes in Eastview were built around 1953, reflecting midcentury designs.
