Belong Here. Live and work remotely in the Evansville Region.

Evansville is for the person who works from anywhere and wants somewhere worth being. Your work-from-anywhere day could look like coffee from a local shop a few minutes from home, into Cowork Evansville to focus for the morning, lunch somewhere on Haynie's Corner, and back at your desk before most people in bigger cities have cleared their commute. What you do with the hours you're not losing to traffic is up to you — the Ohio River Greenway, a show at the Victory Theatre, or just the backyard you can actually afford.

Evansville is one of those rare places where the door is genuinely open.

Why Move to Evansville as a Remote Worker?

Evansville is a city where everyone finds their place. Whether you're drawn to a thriving arts district, an afternoon on the Ohio River, or a career in one of the region's world-class health systems. Here, you'll find:


💰 $3,000 cash + a full-service move with Atlas Van Lines. Plus a complimentary Baird Financial Plan - because landing in a city where your dollar already goes further is only the beginning.

🏡 One-year 24/7 membership to Cowork Evansville. Plus local guides and a Flavors of Evansville sampler designed to make you feel welcomed and get plugged into your new community.

🎟️ Free tickets, golf passes, skating, and zoo & nature day passes. UE Athletics, Swonder Ice Arena, Mesker Park Zoo, and Wesselman Woods — the nation's largest urban old-growth forest. Your weekend itinerary is already filling up.

🏊 Free access to city pools, the Deaconess Aquatic Center, and a YMCA trial pass. Along with Evansville's expansive trail and greenway system, the infrastructure for an active life is already built - and it's all within 15 minutes.

By now you're probably wondering....what's with all the e's?
