Fort Harrison inspired the name of this northern pocket of Terre Haute
Fort Harrison no longer stands, but its legacy lives on. The site of a major battle in the War of 1812, today the area is known as Fort Harrison Villa-White Oak Place, a quiet corner of Terre Haute only five minutes from shops and restaurants, plus two major employers, Indiana State University and Union Hospital. “A lot of people will buy houses and rent them out for the nurses,” says Abby Meehan, a Terre Haute native and real estate agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Newlin-Miller Realtors. The area is also near the historic Twelve Points neighborhood, a burgeoning arts and entertainment hub. “It’s a little section up north where they’re getting new restaurants. There’s a new farmers market that just came in, and they’re trying to make it as nice as south and east Terre Haute,” Meehan says.
Condos from the 1980s and midcentury single-family homes
The neighborhood gets its name from the Fort Harrison Villa and White Oak Place condominiums, which make up the majority of housing stock in the area. Most were built between the 1980s and ’90s, featuring attached one- and two-car garages. Prices range from $110,000 to $180,000, with monthly condo fees ranging from $150 to $250.
There’s also a collection of cottages, bungalows and ranch-style homes. Unlike the condominiums, many single-family homes were constructed between the 1920s and ’60s, with some manufactured homes built in the ’90s. Driveways, carports and detached garages are standard on the larger lots. Most run between $130,000 and $180,000, though larger homes can range from $180,000 to $230,000.
