Presidents
Older homes are available at affordable prices
Sidewalks line the neighborhood's streets, which are wide enough to allow street parking and two-way traffic. Elm trees, shrubbery and colorful gardens decorate the front of postage stamp lots. Bungalows comprise most of Presidents, with some ranch styles, Cape Cods and traditional houses scattered throughout. Almost all of the homes were built between the 1920s and 1950s. “The housing is pretty affordable,” says Sara Pillow, Realtor with F.C. Tucker Emerge and lifelong resident of Evansville. Prices range from $30,000 to $185,000 for multifamily and single-family homes, some of which are investment properties. While there is a chance of flooding, homes in Presidents are at a reduced risk because of the Ohio River Levee. Flood insurance is recommended but not required. There is also a relatively high risk of tornadoes; most homeowner insurance covers wind and storm damage.

Locally owned eateries near Presidents and in Downtown Evansville
Several shops and eateries, like Lic’s Ice Cream and Deli, are at the intersection of Weinbach and Washington avenues. “It’s a locally owned shop, and they’ve got a wide variety of ice cream,” Pillow says. "They also have deli sandwiches, soup and things like that for lunch.” Miranda Taqueria and Pupuseria serves a mix of Mexican and Salvadorian dishes. Downtown Evansville is about 2 miles away, with restaurants like the American-style Comfort by the Cross-Eyed Cricket. Several theatres and performance venues are also downtown, including the Victory Theatre, which opened in 1921. The closest grocery store is Simpson's Super Market. Target, Walmart and Home Depot are about 5 miles away.

Evansville's West Side Nut Club Fall Festival draws in large crowds
Over 200,000 people come to Evansville every October for the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival, which started in 1921. “Next to Mardi Gras, it’s supposed to be the second biggest street festival in the country,” Pillow says. USA Today named it the Best Fall Festival of 2024. The week-long event features a game of Tug of War, a pageant, carnival rides and a parade of lighthouses down Franklin Street. Nearly 140 food booths line the road, with options ranging from hot dogs to alligator dishes.

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.
