About
Stretching from the main gate of Fort Drum to the north and west, Evans Mills is a rural area that offers large homesites and quiet living. This small community contains many homes built in the first half of the 20th century. Some are updated, but many retain the home’s original character.
Fort Drum, particularly the airfield, is easily accessible from Evans Mills but the area feels removed from the post and Army life. The area is perfect for those who want room to breathe. Chicken raising is a popular activity here, and Evans Mills is a great spot to expand your flock.
Neighbors
Evans Mills is a mix of blue-collar and white-collar families, with lots of military families and farmers added in as well.
Neighborhood Feel
This is a rural area, with homes situated on large plots of land. Architectural styles vary, with many farmhouses and Victorians from the 18th and early 19th century alongside mid-century ranches. New construction is less common.
