Gum-Bayard Park-Chandler
Traditional ramblers and Cape Cods
The real estate market in Gum-Bayard Park-Chandler is desirable for its larger properties and proximity to downtown Evansville. “It’s become very popular over the last decade,” says Jim Keck, Broker with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Indiana Realty. “And the market is competitive due to the low inventory.” Most homes here were constructed in the early 1900s, resulting in traditional ramblers, Cape Cods and bungalow designs. While these minimalist styles dominate the area, a few two-story Colonial Revivals are also available. With a median sales price of $250,000, homes here cost $50,000 more than the average property in the Evansville Metro Area, which is reflective of the larger home sizes found here. For example, a three-bedroom Cape Cod goes for around $100,000, while a 4-bedroom Colonial Revival costs upwards of $400,000. Houses often feature detached garages and mid-sized lawns with paved entryways. Streets have sidewalks for increased walkability and are aligned in a traditional grid pattern with South Alvord Boulevard at the heart of the community.Local greenery and swimming at Lorraine Park
When seeking time outdoors, Lorraine Park is only half a mile from the neighborhood. It offers a playground, expansive greenery and a public pool for cooling off in the heat. The pool is monitored by the Evansville Department of Parks & Recreation, and admission rates vary depending on age. There’s also a recreational swim team during the summer. Vann Park is located a mile east of the community, featuring a playground and picnic tables for dining on the go. The Swonder Ice Arena is located north of the East Lloyd Expressway, and offers year-round open public skate times for those who want to spend some time on the ice. The arena also hosts a variety of programs, from hockey and figure skating to roller derby.Shopping along Vann Avenue
Residents shop for groceries and everyday essentials along Vann Avenue, which features retailers like Walmart, Family Dollar and CVS Pharmacy. When dining in the area, Honey Moon Coffee serves all-day breakfast options and a rotating menu of seasonal or classic caffeinated beverages. The Honey Moon was founded in Evansville and has served the community since 2016. The family-owned Turoni's Pizzery & Brewery was the first brewery in Evansville, established nearly 24 years ago, and offers five locally crafted beers. Steve's Una Pizza is known for its thin-crust pizzas, meatballs and authentic Italian cuisine.Education at Evansville Vanderburgh Schools
