Melody Hill is a quiet community on the outskirts of Evansville
Melody Hill is about 6 miles from Downtown Evansville. “It’s a beautiful, rural setting,” says Realtor Chuck Capshaw with Chuck Capshaw Real Estate at Key Associates Signature Realty. Forests and farmland are to the north of the area, helping create a sense of privacy. Still, with access to major thoroughfares like Green River Road and U.S. Route 41, residents can easily access city amenities like Eastland Mall and the Evansville Sports Complex. Melody Hill receives a CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.
