Walkable restaurants and an active community in the heart of Evansville

Suburban Walkable Exciting Restaurants Shopping

Minutes west of the University of Evansville, the neighborhood of Downtown Evansville graces the Ohio River's banks across from Kentucky. This Vanderburgh County community retains its historic flavor mixed with contemporary culture. Apartments and houses for rent pepper the neighborhood, and the Ohio River Scenic Byway gets you to Interstate 64 and Louisville, Kentucky, about 120 miles east.

Locals love the hometown atmosphere and the freshness and variety of pizzas at Turoni's Pizzery and Brewery. Day or night, this Main Street food haven features home-brewed beers and Thunderbolt Red Ale. Works by local artisans at the Arts Council's Bower-Surheinrich Gallery and annual events such as the Kenny Kent Lexus Jazz & Wine Festival draw locals to historic Main and 4th Streets, a neighborhood gathering place.
