Living in Bowling Green, KY

Bowling Green may be best known for being the home of the National Corvette Museum and a strategic location during the Civil War, but renters will also find a dynamic town that has been recognized as one of the best places for small businesses. Plus, renters appreciate the many job opportunities in town, ranging from manufacturing to a more knowledge-based, technology-driven economy. In addition, the cost of living in Bowling Green is very reasonable, standing just above the average for the state of Kentucky and well below the national average.

Additionally, it’s a good idea to always stay aware of your surroundings and lock the doors to your car and rental apartment.
