Crestmoor
Spacious quarter-acre lots and wide-ranging 1950s homes
Many houses sit on well-maintained lawns with trees and bushes that display a full range of colors as the seasons change. "Sometimes our four seasons are all in one day. If you don't like the weather in Bowling Green today, it'll be different tomorrow," Cummings says. Most properties have garages or carports, and on-street parking is rare. Crestmoor features New Traditional, bungalow and ranch-style architecture on quarter-acre lots. Most of the housing stock is from the 1950s and 1960s, although Crestmoor's bungalows are typically from the 1920s. Home prices range from $100,000 to $500,000. Some properties exceed 5,000 square feet, going for $1.2 million to $1.4 million. "The pricing is average for the area. Most homes are much older," Cummings says. "A lot of professors used to live in Crestmoor back in the day. They were concentrated there at one point but have since meandered elsewhere."Highly rated schools with a variety of extracurricular activities
W.R. McNeill Elementary School earns an A-minus grade from Niche, and its Student Technology Leadership Program is an introduction to digital media skills and aspiring news careers. Bowling Green Junior High School also has an A-minus, offering extracurricular clubs, such as esports, forensic team and yearbook club. Warren Central High School receives a B-minus, with community oriented sports teams and a J.R.O.T.C. path.Exploring the Lost River Cave and other nearby green spaces
Lost River Cave is a limestone cavern spanning 7 miles, with boat tours that dive into its geology and historical significance. Lost River Cave is known for its "blue holes," vertical caves filled with turquoise-colored water that can be more than 400 feet deep. The cave area also connects to H.P. Thomas Park, which has a playground, a dog park and 2 miles of hiking trails. Chuck Crume Nature Park has a mile-long gravel trail through a dense forest with black walnut trees and other plant life indigenous to Kentucky. Paul Walker Golf Course is a municipal nine-hole course with mature trees lined along fairways about 2 miles west.Restaurant chains and retail on Campbell Lane

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
