Neighborhoods.

So I'm curious, if you were a family with teens looking to move to a reasonably priced house in Evansville, where would you look? What neighborhoods or areas should you avoid? And compared to bigger cities, how rough are the "rougher" areas of Evansville?

For reference we're talking a 4 bedroom house preferably around the 300k range. I've been told to stay away from the river and that certain zip codes are awful. But I've never lived in Evansville. I lived in rougher parts of Austin, San Antonio and Terre Haute, but to hear my coworkers talk Evansville is even worse and I'm turning to reddit for a second opinion.
