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.

Homes from the mid-20th century to early 2000s have a wide price range

Dense trees fill Melody Hill's rolling landscape, broken up by grassy lawns and homes. There are a mix of properties from the mid to late 20th century and ones built in the early 2000s, many featuring wide driveways that lead to one- and two-car garages. Ranch styles and split levels comprise much of the community, although New Traditional houses with colonial influences are common farther south. Prices generally fall between $150,000 and $350,000, although larger properties have sold for $415,000 to $475,000. “As far as pricing goes, a lot of these properties are appreciating much faster than the local trend in Vanderburgh County,” Capshaw says.

According to FEMA, the area has a relatively high risk of tornadoes.

Melody Hill is between two highways, next to Evansville Regional Airport

Most residents rely on cars to get around, although the Metropolitan Evansville Transit System has stops along Lynch Road. The neighborhood is located between U.S. Route 41 and Interstate 69, making it easy for residents to head into the heart of Evansville or nearby major cities like Louisville, Kentucky, about 110 miles away. The community is next to the Evansville Regional Airport, which offers direct flights to eight cities across the U.S. “There’s a lot of business travel,” says Capshaw, citing travel nurses coming in to work at Deaconess Hospital as an example.

Restaurants, shops and the Eastland Mall are along Green River Road

There are a handful of restaurants in the area, including the Twisted Tomato Pizza Company, which has 15 specialty pizzas and an arcade. Otherwise, residents head into Evansville for dining. There are several chains along Green River Road, as well as locally owned eateries like Kabob Xpress, which serves Mediterranean food. Downtown Evansville has restaurants like BRU Burger Bar. The closest grocery store is Schnucks, although people can pick up household essentials at the Dollar General in Melody Hill. Eastland Mall is about 5 miles away, with over 100 shopping, dining and entertainment options. Target, Walmart and Home Depot are all about a 6-mile drive.
