Housing
In Terre Haute, the "American Dream" of home ownership
is a reality for many of our residents. Every Terre Haute
neighborhood is unique, possessing certain assets grounded in its
history and current standing. Whether
you’re looking for a newer home or one of the many historic
homes that the area offers, your biggest problem will be choosing
from all the beautiful houses offered.
A healthy neighborhood is a place where it makes economic sense
for people to invest their time, money and energy. As a result,
the City is investing in neighborhood integrity, neighborhood enhancement,
and neighborhood relations programs.
According
to the Home Builders Association of Greater Terre Haute, new home
building in Vigo County is on the rise, with 238 single-family permits
issued in 2004.
