Why Live in Loogootee
In Loogootee, classic houses on tranquil residential streets stand a relative stone’s throw from one of the globe’s largest naval bases. This area of southwest Indiana offers a rounded small-town atmosphere, complete with a variety of locally owned businesses, a community school system and a popular public lake. It’s all just over 20 miles south of Naval Support Activity Crane, which employs thousands on its 62,400-acre campus. “We have a lot of people that work there,” says Mary Norris, a local Realtor at F.C. Tucker Emge and a lifelong resident of the region. “A lot of engineers and other professionals.”
Loogotee’s unmarked neighborhood roads guide locals around a community whose homes predominantly date anywhere from the turn of the 20th century to the 1990s. Architectural styles can vary within any given block, including bungalows, colonials and ranch-style options. “There is quite a mix, because it is an older community,” Norris says. Work is underway on developments including Country Court 5 and Oak Tree Village, which will bring new homes to the area. Most existing residences fetch $170,000 to $410,000.
