Midtown
Neighborhood in Evansville, Indiana
Vanderburgh County 47714
A wide range of housing styles and prices fill the neighborhood
Oak trees shade Midtown's sidewalks, with grassy front lawns decorated with gardens and shrubbery. Driveways lead to one and two-car garages, and there is ample room for street parking. Davis says there is a “wide range of home options,” both in price and style. Bungalows and ranch styles share the neighborhood with Colonial Revivals and Cape Cods, mostly built between the 1920s and 1950s. According to Davis, most of Midtown has “smaller, affordable homes.” Prices generally fall between $120,000 and $350,000, although some investment properties can cost as little as $45,000. Davis notes that there is one exception to these prices: the large homes in the Johnson Place subdivision. While none of these homes have hit the market recently, most are valued at over $600,000. Midtown receives a CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.

The hospital grounds offer outdoor recreation for Midtown residents
Evansville State Hospital offers more than health care. Davis describes the hospital grounds as a “wonderful recreation area,” with soccer and baseball fields, a disc golf course and Woodmere Dog Park. Trail with a Tale is a storybook walk on the grounds, where signs with pages of a picture book line the path. The book is switched out every month. People can stroll through the nearby Southwestern Indiana Master Gardener Display Garden, walking past flowers, berries and herbs. Wesselman Woods is a nature preserve just north of the neighborhood that features the Nature Playscape, a structure mostly made from logs, rocks and native plants. The McCollough branch of the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Libraries is about 2 miles away. In addition to book clubs for all ages, patrons can join improv classes and crafting clubs and spend time with the library’s therapy dog, Jack.

Students attend Evansville Vanderburgh public schools
Midtown is part of Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation. Harper Elementary School and Washington Middle School both receive a C-plus. Bosse High School earns a B-minus. The school partners with Toyota to offer 4T Academy, where students can make money while getting hands-on experience learning about advanced manufacturing. About 1 mile away, the University of Evansville has over 75 undergraduate programs across three colleges: the College of Business and Engineering, the College of Education and Health Sciences and the William L. Ridgway College of Arts and Sciences.

Lloyd Expressway connects the neighborhood to surrounding cities
Lloyd Expressway is the neighborhood’s northern border. Davis says that having the expressway so close “makes it easy to get anywhere in town.” It intersects with U.S. Route 41 and Interstate 69, letting residents travel to nearby cities like Louisville, Kentucky, about 115 miles away.East side businesses range from local eateries to big-box stores
The east side of Evansville has options for shopping and dining. “Lincoln Avenue, from St. James to Vann, has a wonderful mix of local small businesses,” Davis says. These range from Rare Bird Gifts & Goods to Dukane Skin Care, a day spa with facials and massages. Restaurants include Casey’s Dugout, a baseball-themed pizza parlor, and Manna Grill, which serves Mediterranean food. Eastland Mall is about 2 miles away, with department stores like Macy’s and popular brands, including American Eagle and Old Navy. Nearby grocery stores include Schnucks, which is in the same shopping center as Barnes & Noble and Dollar Tree. Target, Walmart and Home Depot are within 3 miles.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
