Neighborhood in Terre Haute, Indiana
Vigo County 47803
Early 20th-century cottages paired with vinyl-sided New Traditionals
On Terre Haute’s South East side, homes range in style, price point and age. “DeVaney is going be a little bit more average property values,” says Debbie Hill, who works with Coldwell Banker Real Estate Group. “There’s still two- and three-bedrooms, but there also might be a subdivision or two with new construction.” Prospective buyers will find bungalows with quaint dormer windows, ranch-style houses and cottages on gridded streets. Lot sizes are relatively compact, hovering under one-fifth acre, and sidewalks are shaded by lush mulberry and oak trees. Modest, early 20th-century homes in need of extensive renovations can start around $60,000, whereas refinished properties can range from around $115,000 to close to $200,000. As Hill indicates, there’s also a selection of vinyl and brick-sided New Traditional homes with attached two-car garages, and sale prices for these properties typically fall between $250,000 and $375,000.

Deming Park disc golf, swimming, train rides and Santa Claus
Just outside the boundaries of the neighborhood is Deming Park, established in the early 1920s. The 175-acre expanse includes a popular disc golf course, basketball courts and picnic shelters that families can rent out for reunions and birthday parties. Kilie Smith, Assistant Superintendent of the city’s Parks Department, also highlights the large playground, swimming pool, onsite pottery studio and a feature called “The Spirit of Terre Haute.” “The Spirit of Terre Haute is an amusement park train that runs throughout the park,” she says, adding, “A lot of kiddos and families enjoy it. It operates in the summer and early fall.” Rides are also offered during Christmas in the Park, an annual celebration that’s been going strong in Terre Haute for nearly 40 years. Santa Claus usually makes a guest appearance, and local businesses decorate picnic shelters with twinkle lights.

CTE Career Clusters at Terre Haute South Vigo High School
DeVaney Elementary School, which earns a B-plus on Niche, anchors the neighborhood; it’s within walking distance for many, whereas kids living in DeVaney’s northwest corner can walk to the C-plus-rated Davis Park Elementary. In sixth grade, students come together at Woodrow Wilson Junior High, which also has a C-plus from Niche. The B-plus-rated Terre Haute South Vigo High has a small planetarium, and over a dozen CTE Career Clusters, including Architecture and Construction and Health Sciences.

Shopping and dining along 25th Street
A collection of family-owned restaurants and convenience stores can be found along 25th Street. There’s Bev’s, where homemade pies are topped with meringue towers, The Music Shoppe, which has been selling guitars for over 50 years, and a Dollar General next to Marco’s Pizza. Charlie’s Pub & Grub is a short drive outside the neighborhood, and Hill recommends Rick’s Smokehouse & Grill on Wabash Avenue. Residents can pick up groceries at the nearby Kroger, or shop for prepared foods and organic produce at Baelser’s Market.

Public buses, Terre Haute Regional Airport and Indianapolis along Interstate 70
Downtown Terre Haute is less than 3 miles from DeVaney, and although Hill says public buses stop along 25th Street, it’s more common for residents to rely on their personal cars. Military operations, private flights and ISU instructional programs are all based out of Terre Haute’s small regional airport, which is about 5 miles from the neighborhood. Commercial flights take off from the Indianapolis International Airport, about 60 miles away along Interstate 70. For everything from emergency medical care to physical therapy, residents can drive to Union Hospital less than 4 miles—about 10 minutes—from the neighborhood.Annual park events and Indiana State University Athletics
Along with Christmas in the Park, other annual festivities in Deming Park include Easter Egg hunts, dog costume contests and “Haunted Halloween Happenings,” which includes both hay and train rides. Found along 25th Street, the Community Theatre of Terre Haute has roots in the city dating back to the 1920s; it’s still a destination for musicals, plays and youth classes today. DeVaney’s proximity to Indian State University also means a regular calendar of sporting events, and some locals invest in season tickets to watch the Sycamores kick-off at Memorial Stadium, about 2 miles away from the neighborhood. The small city is home to a selection of museums and event venues; there’s the Terre Haute Symphony Orchestra, which plays in Tilson Music Hall on ISU’s campus, the Terre Haute Children’s Museum, known for its interactive exhibits, and touring bands perform at “The Mill,” an outdoor amphitheater beside the Wabash.
