Evansville living near schools and highway access
Southside Evansville is less than 5 miles from Downtown Evansville, and is central to major highways like U.S. Route 41. “If you work in Kentucky, you get on 41, cross the bridge and you’re there,” says Realtor Yvonne Woodburn with Keller Williams Capital Realty, a born-and-raised Evansville resident. “And [the neighborhood’s] right off Weinbach [Avenue], so you’re close to the high school.” Southside Evansville is home to Lodge Community School, and Benjamin Bosse High School is only 2 miles away – convenient for families with school-age children.
Midcentury homes with grassy yards and mature trees
The neighborhood has a charming selection of midcentury single-family homes, ranging from around $55,000 to almost $200,000. These quaint bungalows, vinyl-sided cottages and brick ranch-style houses sit on modest lots with grassy yards, typically shaded by a mature tree or two. This close to the Ohio River, American sycamores, river birches and trees of heaven grow green and tall, sometimes wrapped in ivy. Most of Southside Evansville has a low risk of flooding thanks to the city’s levee system, but there are some special flood zones in the neighborhood. Properties touching those may need flood insurance for a federally backed mortgage.
