Traditional ramblers and Prairie styles
The real estate market in Helfrich is competitive due to its low entry pricing and proximity to amenities along North Street Joseph Avenue. “There’s a unique blend of affordability and charm, appealing to a wide variety of buyers looking for a community-oriented neighborhood,” says Myers, with over three years of experience selling in Indiana. Most homes were constructed in the early 1900s, resulting in traditional ramblers, Cape Cods, bungalows and Prairie designs. With a median sales price of $115,000, homes in Helfrich cost $40,000 less than the average property in the Evansville Metro Area. For example, prices range from as low as $20,000 for a two-bedroom bungalow fixer-upper to upwards of $250,000 for a three-bedroom rambler. Houses also often feature detached garages, small lawns and backyard fencing for added privacy. Streets are aligned in a traditional four-block grid pattern with paved sidewalks connecting neighbors to residents and the Helfrich Park STEM Academy on its northern border.Neighborhood greenery and the Mesker Park Zoo
