Ohio Street-Davis Park
Investment properties and updated historic homes
“Most of the housing stock is from the 1920s, ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s,” says Southard, explaining, “You could also have homes in there mixed in from the 1800s and early 1900s.” Architectural styles reflect the time period, and prospective buyers will find bungalows, Foursquares, duplexes and modest cottages, some recently updated and some primed for investors. Prices can start around $30,000 and reach upwards of $160,000 for well-maintained, historic properties. Lot sizes are compact, often under 5,000 square feet, and cars park in the street or in detached garages. “It’s Ohio Street to a certain point, and then boulevard from 19th Street onward,” explains Southard. The tree-lined median is a popular destination for bike rides, jogs or walking the dog.

A small neighborhood park and disc golf in Deming
Within the neighborhood’s boundaries sits Curtis Gilbert Park, where residents will find a small playground and basketball court. “Ohio Boulevard runs into Deming Park, which is one of the largest and nicest parks in the county,” says Southard, adding, “You actually have a little tiny train that will take you through a portion of the park, and there are some water fountains in the ponds and a disc golf course.” Picnic shelters are decked out with twinkle lights for the holiday season and the annual “Christmas in the Park” celebration, and those with fishing licenses can cast their lines into the ponds. According to Parks Department Assistant Superintendent Kilie Smith, there are also pottery classes offered at the onsite studio.

Prohibition-era tunnels and a destination steakhouse
M. Moggers, a short walk outside the neighborhood along Poplar Street, has a history dating back to the 19th century; and features Prohibition-era tunnels beneath the modern-day pub—the subject of several paranormal investigations over the years—which were once used to transport kegs from the Terre Haute Brewing Company out to the river. The restaurant’s current owners took over in 1996 and popular menu items include their town house chicken, served with mushroom sauce, and burgers topped with everything from cheese curds to smoked brisket. Stables Steakhouse, Moggers’ sister restaurant, sits just next door. “Stables is a staple. If you’ve traveled to Terre Haute, you’ve probably traveled to eat there,” says Kelsey Rich of The Real Estate Connection. “If you’ve been once, you’ve definitely come back to eat there a second time.” Residents can shop for antiques at Glendy’s Uptown Mall nearby, pick up the necessities at Family Dollar and head to Baelser’s Market or Kroger for groceries.

Elementary and middle schools within walking distance
For many students living within the neighborhood, Davis Park Elementary and Woodrow Wilson Junior High are a walk away. Both earn C-plus grades on Niche, whereas Terre Haute South Vigo High has a B-plus. The high school’s small planetarium is a popular destination for local field trips, and some students participate in the Indiana State University dual credit program, where class options include human anatomy, textiles and freshman writing.

Outdoor concert venues, Indiana State University Athletics and Larry Bird’s legacy
In recent years, Terre Haute has seen the emergence of large-scale venues like The Mill, an outdoor amphitheater next to the Wabash River that’s so far welcomed the likes of musical artists Flo Rida and T-Pain. The city’s children’s museum, which offers before- and after-school programs, is highly recommended by Rich and Southard, and some families invest in annual memberships. Indiana State University’s football team kicks off at Memorial Stadium in the fall and ISU’s basketball team plays at the Hulman Center Arena. Fans can learn about former Sycamore and famed NBA forward Larry Bird at the museum next door, which opened in Spring 2024.Buses connect ISU, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and Union Hospital
Public bus lines run throughout Terre Haute, connecting destinations like Indiana State University, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and Union Hospital, which are all major employers in the region. Terre Haute Casino Resort, which opened in 2024, has also brought new jobs—and out-of-towners—to the city. Drivers can take Interstate 70 to the state’s capital, about 75 miles east, and Indianapolis International Airport is the go-to for commercial flights 65 miles away. Overall, says Southard, “There’s lots to be thankful for in Terre Haute.” Although, like any city, it’s experienced its fair share of ups and downs over the last century—even briefly going by the nickname “Sin City” in the ‘50s—it continues to attract new industries, restaurants and, with these, prospective home buyers to neighborhoods like Ohio Street-Davis Park.
