Boonville, Chandler and Mount Vernon: Small-Town Living Near Evansville

Not everyone who works in Evansville wants to live in the middle of it. A lot of our buyers want a little more space, a slower pace or a classic small-town square, and still want Evansville within easy reach. Three towns come up again and again: Boonville, Chandler and Mount Vernon. Here is a quick introduction to each so you can decide which ones belong on your list.

How to Choose Between Them

The right town comes down to your daily life more than anything else. A few questions we ask every buyer:

• Where do you work, and how often? Drive your commute from each town at the times you would really be on the road.
• How much land do you want? In-town lots and rural acreage come with different upkeep, utilities and costs.
• What does your weekend look like? Think about where you shop, eat and spend time with family.
• What about schools? Boonville and Chandler are served by the Warrick County School Corporation, and Mount Vernon by Metropolitan School District of Mount Vernon. Attendance boundaries vary by address, so check any specific home with the district and review information from the Indiana Department of Education.
