Living in Haubstadt
Haubstadt is a small Gibson County town of about 1,638 people, but don't let the size fool you. It's one of the more desirable bedroom communities in the Evansville metro area, sitting just 16 miles north of the city along US-41 with easy access to both the Toyota plant and Evansville's broader job market. The town has seen meaningful residential growth in recent years, with newer subdivisions like Southern Hills Crossing attracting young professionals and families who want more space at a price that makes sense. Per capita income here runs above the state average, and the area ranks higher-income than 70% of U.S. neighborhoods, a reflection of the professionals and managers who've chosen Haubstadt for its quality of life. Schools include Haubstadt Community School along with two Catholic K-8 options, Saints Peter and Paul and Saint James. The town also claims the oldest continuously operating restaurant in Indiana, The Log Inn, which Henry Haub himself built above his stagecoach stop in the mid-1800s. Haubstadt Community Park, Tri-State Speedway, and a genuinely close-knit neighborhood culture round out an area that overdelivers for its size.

Fun Facts About Haubstadt
Haubstadt has the oldest restaurant in Indiana inside its borders, a race track that's been kicking up dirt since 1957, and a Town Hall that used to be a bank, all packed into less than a square mile. The Log Inn started as a stagecoach tavern built by the town's founder, Henry Haub, sometime in the mid-1800s. It later became a dance hall. Then a proper restaurant. It never stopped. It's still open. That makes it Indiana's oldest continuously operating restaurant, which is the kind of record that earns a town some permanent bragging rights. Then there's Tri-State Speedway, the 1/4-mile high-banked dirt oval that's hosted World of Outlaws sprint cars, USAC sprints, and open-wheel modifieds since Eisenhower was president. NASCAR on FOX commentator Adam Alexander got his start announcing races here in the late 1990s. The track still runs from April through September, and on race nights the whole county seems to show up. With 49% of households being married-couple families and a median age of 42, Haubstadt is the kind of community where people put down roots and mean it. Real estate here reflects that stability, with newer homes, rising values, and a market that tends to move fast when good listings hit. If you want a town with actual history, actual racing, and an actual inn, you've found it. Ready to see what's nearby? Fort Branch is right up the road.
