Living in Evansville
Evansville, the capital of Vandenburgh County, is situated around a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree loop of the Ohio River in southwest Indiana. The city forms the cultural, medical and commercial hub of a tri-state area including Illinois and Kentucky. Known as “the River City”, Evansville is situated in a shallow valley amidst low rolling hills. The Mesker Park Zoo and Botanic Gardens are situated in the hills to the west, whilst the eastern side of Evansville is protected by levees from flooding. With a sub-tropical climate, Evansville has hot and humid summers and cold winters. The city can offer some sixty-five municipal parks, including the Wesselman Woods Nature Reserve which has wildlife observation areas. Expats in Evansville may enjoy many cycling and walking trails, including the city-encircling Pigeon Creek Greenway Passage, which forms part of the American Discovery Trail. Evansville is a relatively quiet and safe city to live in as an expatriate, with a neighborly population. A thriving casino area operates on the Ohio River, with plenty of restaurants and bars.

Moving to Evansville
A regional airport serves Evansville, and there are good transport links throughout the city with the Metropolitan Evansville Transit System bus service covering all neighborhoods.

Including articles written by expatriates with experience of relocating to a foreign country, the magazine should be consulted before your move to Evansville, and referred to as necessary on arrival. Specific questions relating to moving to the United States or Evansville itself are furthermore best answered by posting onto one the InterNations forums, and through networking you can establish contact with others who have moved to Indiana as well.
