Ramblers and New Traditional estates
The real estate market in Highland is competitive due to its limited inventory and its desirable school district. “We have more buyers than inventory,” says Naas, an Evansville native with over 35 years of experience selling in the area. “Highland attracts a lot of first-time buyers and has a mix of starter homes to choose from.” Most homes were constructed in Higland were built in the late 1990s and early 2000s and styles range from ramblers and Cape Cods to split-levels and New Traditional designs. With a median sales price of $280,000, homes here tend to cost $130,000 more than the average property in the Evansville Metro Area—primarily because of acreage.

Streets branch off into cul-de-sacs from Old State Road, which acts as the neighborhood's primary thoroughfare.
