Neighborhood association is revitalizing the Tepe Park community
At Tepe Park, neighbors constantly seek ways to support each other. The Tepe Park Neighborhood Association (TPNA) is leading a revival of the community, working closely with residents, the City of Evansville and organizations like Community One. This nonprofit helps restore homes and mobilize locals. “We’ve spent the last almost eight years creating a community of belonging, where residents can be participants in their own vision for change,” says Austin Maxheimer, director of neighborhood revitalization at Community One and Tepe Park resident. Action Projects are just one of its initiatives, where residents get funding to help their neighbors. Events like block parties and Love Your Neighbor Day, where volunteers help repair homes, clear trash and clean up the community garden, are designed to revitalize the community.
Walking to nearby neighborhoods, driving everywhere else
Residents can walk to downtown Evansville, about 1 mile away, or to Haynie’s Corner Arts District. “There’s a lot of days where I don’t even have to get in my car,” Maxheimer says. They are likely to drive if they want to travel anywhere else in Evansville. U.S. Route 41 is the closest highway and intersects with Lloyd Expressway and Interstate 69. The Metropolitan Evansville Transit System manages four bus routes near Tepe Park.
Pricing is a draw for Tepe Park homes
Elm trees grow along Tepe Park's sidewalks, where grassy front lawns are often personalized with blooming gardens and lawn ornaments. Few properties have driveways and attached garages; most residents park their cars along the streets. Craftsman homes and bungalows with wide porches make up most of the neighborhood, although some Cape Cods are available. Nikki Davis, a Realtor with F.C. Tucker Emge, has sold several properties in the neighborhood, citing affordability as the biggest draw. Depending on size and condition, home prices range from $15,000 to $215,000. Almost half of the residents are renters.
The Ohio River Levee reduces the risk of flooding, so flood insurance is not required for homes in Tepe Park. There is a relatively high risk of tornadoes.

Bosse High School receives a B-minus and offers career and technical education programs like 4T Academy, an advanced manufacturing program sponsored by Toyota. The neighborhood association helps run #TechMe, a STEM program that offers an in-depth introduction to technology to younger children. The University of Evansville is about 2 miles away and has more than 2,000 undergraduate and graduate students.

Haynie’s Corner and downtown Evansville offer shopping and dining
The neighborhood association works with Urban Seeds, a nonprofit in Evansville, to offer residents discounts on fresh produce through the Nourish program. “They are an incredible partner,” Maxheimer says. Urban Seeds hosts monthly pop-ups at the Tepe Park clubhouse, and the neighborhood association is working towards opening a permanent market. Residents can get groceries from Simpson's Super Market. Walmart, Target and Lowe’s are within 6 miles of the neighborhood.
Haynie’s Corner Arts District is a neighboring community with locally owned shops and restaurants. Eateries include Bokeh Lounge, which serves burgers, bar food and personal pizzas. The restaurant often has live music. Downtown Evansville has more dining options, like Angelo’s. “I’ve been to Italy, and I think the food is better than anything I ate in Italy,” Davis says.
For great food and drinks head over to Bokeh Lounge just a few blocks away from Tepe Park.
Angelo's Italian Restaurant has been serving Tepe Park residents since 1993.

Sunset Skatepark is about 1 mile away, next to Mickey’s Kingdom, a play-structure made out of recycled materials.
