Melody Hill is a census-designated place (CDP) in Center Township, Vanderburgh County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. The population was 3,628 at the 2010 census.
Geography
Melody Hill is located at 38°1′31″N 87°30′57″W / 38.02528°N 87.51583°W (38.025242, -87.515813).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 1.4 square miles (3.6 km2), of which 1.4 square miles (3.6 km2) is land and 0.73% is water. The Census Bureau-created CDP of "Melody Hill" consists of the residential areas south of the Evansville Regional Airport, north of Lynch Road, west of Green River Road, and east of the industrial area that includes Whirlpool (the industrial plants are not included as they are in the Evansville city limits.). Melody Hill includes older subdivisions such as Melody Hills, Cloverlawn Estates, Ridgeview Estates, and the Bergdolt Rd. area, as well as several newer subdivisions. Residents may see their area referred to as "Melody Hill" on certain maps and weather channels as if it were an actual town.
"Melody Hills" Subdivisions
To residents, "Melody Hills" (note the "s") consists only of the two neighborhoods off St. George Road between U.S. Route 41 and Oak Hill Road. The older section, south of St. George Rd., consists of smaller tract homes built in the postwar era to house workers at the Whirlpool plant. The newer section, consisting of larger homes built on a hilly area in the 1960s, is on the north side of St. George Road between Ward Road on the east and Twickingham Road on the west. It is south of the Evansville Regional Airport and east of the Sunset Memorial Gardens cemetery. To its east is the "Knob Hill" area, one street of homes around a lake and small hill.
It may be worth noting that residents of this area remain somewhat mystified by the fact that their neighborhood is dotted on maps and designated as a CDP, as it is actually a suburban residential neighborhood and not a separate town or settlement of any sort.
