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.
