Evansville sits on a scenic bend in the Ohio River, earning its nickname "River City." As Indiana's third-largest city, Evansville proudly preserves its historic character while continuing to grow. The city's rich manufacturing heritage dates back to World War II when it was a major producer of LSTs (Landing Ship-Tanks) and P-47 Thunderbolt fighter aircraft. Today, Evansville offers renters diverse housing options from renovated historic homes in the Riverside Historic District to contemporary apartments near the downtown riverfront.

Renters appreciate neighborhoods like Haynie's Corner Arts District, known for its First Friday art walks and historic architecture, and the tree-lined streets of Bayard Park with its turn-of-the-century homes. The Eastside offers newer rental communities near shopping at Lloyd Crossing and Green River Road. Downtown living puts residents within walking distance of the 11,000-seat Ford Center arena, Victory Theatre, and the popular riverfront plaza where many enjoy sunset walks along the Ohio River.

Evansville's economy is anchored by healthcare, finance, and manufacturing sectors, with major employers including Deaconess Health System, Berry Global, and Old National Bank. The average commute time is under 20 minutes, making it easy to get around. Residents enjoy access to over 65 parks spanning more than 2,300 acres, including the 200-acre Wesselman Woods Nature Preserve with its old-growth forest and the 6.75-mile Pigeon Creek Greenway trail system. The city hosts popular events throughout the year, including the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival, a week-long street festival that draws over 200,000 visitors and features more than 130 food booths.
