Cemetery Road effectively bisects the community and serves as the central connector west to Bowling Green proper. This thoroughfare also merges with Interstate 65 at the northwestern corner of the neighborhood, providing access south to Tennessee. “We’re just about 60 miles north of Nashville, and we’ve had a lot of people move here who make that commute,” Ferguson says.Drakes Creek is a destination for boating and fishing

The creek is also popular for canoeing, kayaking and floating. “There’s plenty of what you might call lake-style recreation around East Bowling Green,” Ferguson says. “We’ve also got Barren River Lake nearby, so if residents like being on the water, they’re in the right spot.”Shopping centers on Route 231 and restaurants at Greenwood Mall
