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.

The Evansville Region calls their charm Midwest Magic. You’ll call it home.

Evansville, IN | #3 Ranked Place for Remote Work - Wall Street Journal

Muncie is a place for people who find more inspiration in a repurposed historic studio (like the one where Bob Ross filmed) than in a sanitized glass office tower. It’s for the remote worker who’d rather commute via the 62-mile Cardinal Greenway trail than a six-lane highway, and the person who wants to be who wants to be part of the DWNTWN Arts District before it's "discovered." We’re not a one-size-fits-all suburb; we’re a community that thrives on a "Magic City" ethic of reinvention. If you have a DIY spirit and want a seat at the table, we have one waiting for you.

Located just over an hour northeast of Indianapolis, Muncie possesses a small-town college vibe without forgoing big-city amenities. Home to Ball State University, the city features arts and entertainment attractions, sporting events, and unique neighborhoods that offer plenty for the whole family - or just a night out with friends.
