Moving to Evansville (Newburgh, Spencer, Lynn: apartment complex, to rent, lofts)

[rsengineering]

I will start a job this fall in Newburgh,IN, but it is closer to East -South-East Evansville,just on I 164. I am willing to commute about 20-25min and do not look for a city home. I am looking to live in a rural community,where I have some armspace.
For now I am mostly looking for an appartment/small home on a farm or a small home out in the country. About 700-800sqf. Schools or lots of restaurants/paid entertainment around my home are not important for me. There`s plenty of that near the office. Looking to rent for now. It should not be in a flooding zone and in a grown neighborhood, not in a new artificial development. Should have some space for a Garden and if possible not within city limits. I know, I ask a lot,but what are my options? Areas? I am also open for Kentucky, just anywhere in reach, where I can get some halfway affordable rural living. Would Kentucky be cheaper or is it about the same? Taxes, fuel etc.

Seems that what I am looking for is hard to find.We will see.

You might try the rural areas of Warrick County (the country where Newburgh is located) to the north around Lynnville or Folsomville, or east near Yankeetown or Hatfield

It is a bit hard with what you describe. The area you mention is pretty much surrounded by town. What farmland remains in that area is being gobbled up for development.

Spencer County might be what you're looking for. Kentucky also might be an option. I can't really speak to the financial comparisons, taxes, etc.

Thank you very much for these tips. I will see what I can find.
Spencer County sounds very interesting,too.
I still would be interested in KY,but since I will work in IN, I don`t know about the differences in Taxes, cost of living etc.

Kentucky will be a little more affordable but there is a stigma for living in KY and working in IN. Believe me, just like there is a stigma for living on the West Side and working in Newburgh, even though the west side is more charming and quaint and scenic. I do agree about Spencer County, but you could look northward as well. Scott School, McCutchanville Area, now that address will turn heads. Again, just do not go to KY.

[rsengineering]

Why will that adress turn heads? Because it is so expensive there?

That area is attracting more affluent folks and it's one of the more desirable places right now. This is one of the places I mean when I mentioned about farmland being gobbled up for development. It is a very nice area, and there are still some rural parts, but that 47725 zip code adds a consisderable price tag. It's a good area, thogh, and you might find something to your liking

[lisaSc]

Yes, as in affluent.

What is your price range for apartments? I just finished looking for apartments in Evansville and I think I visited every apartment complex I could find.

[lisaSc]

Any price range you can imagine! Did you look downtown? There are lofts that are pricey and very fancy, or there is the historic and the regular complex-type that are found in the mall areas. There are a lot of artsy types and art colony, the museum and good coffee shops are around there.
