A few new houses amid many rentals
While apartments surround Governor’s Square, a few single-family homes exist on the neighborhood’s outskirts. A small community off Old Russellville Pike consists of a couple rows of two-story contemporary Traditional style houses with brick and vinyl exteriors. While the houses appear uniform, they differ slightly with their mix of front-gabled and hipped roofs. They sit close to each other on compact lots with short driveways. These more than 1,000-square foot houses can run between $250,000 and $300,000. Some 1960s and 1970s ranch-style houses on the southern end of Governor’s Square can run between $200,000 and $230,000. Another community in this part of the city is Governor’s Crossing, a complex of modern Traditional townhouses built within the past several years. Price points for them run between $200,000 to $230,000. Governor’s Crossing is a desired complex in this part of town due to its amenities. “If I was going to go into one, I would want one with a pool and clubhouse. It’s there if I wanted to use it,” McCooley says.

Recreational attractions from mini golf to baseball at Civitan Park
Several entertainment venues sit within arm’s reach of Governor’s Square. The Sky Zone Trampoline Park is a weekend hangout destination for many area children and teens. In addition to its various trampolines, the venue features expansive foam pits and gymnastics rings. The Pinnacle Family Entertainment Center puts the neighborhood close to one of several bowling alleys in Clarksville. The venue stays open late for cosmic bowling and hosts leagues and tournaments for more avid players. Younger patrons who might not be interested in bowling can find other options in arcade video games. On the northern end of Governor’s Square lies the D&D Blacklight Mini Golf in 3D and its fairy tale themed course. The 50-acre Civitan Park south of the neighborhood has multiple baseball and softball fields and offers batting cages for practice. A frequent host of youth baseball games, the park is home to the St. Bethlehem Little League. Parents and children also enjoy visiting the park for its expansive playground.

JROTC at Kenwood High
Governor’s Square is divided into different school zones. That means children and teens here can attend different strands of elementary, middle and high schools, depending exactly where they live. For younger students, the schools include Glenellen and Oakland elementary schools, which both receive B grades from ratings site Niche. The secondary institutions they can then attend include Northeast Middle School and Kenwood High School, which both receive B-minus grades from Niche. Kenwood High is a recent recipient of the Tennessee Purple Star School Award, which recognizes schools that make exceptional efforts to serve military families. The high school’s extracurricular activities include JROTC.

Best of Clarksville celebration at Governor’s Square Mall
On the first Thursday of October, many flock to the Governor’s Square Mall for the annual Best of Clarksville. The more than two decades old tradition brings attention to local businesses and serves as a fundraiser for local nonprofits. Goers stop by many booths offering anything from cotton candy snacks to face painting.

Close to hospital and commuter routes
Governor’s Square sits between the major commuter routes of 101st Airborne Division Parkway and Interstate 24. The interstate runs to Nashville, while 101st Airborne is one of the main roads to Fort Campbell. Wilma Rudolph Boulevard — also U.S. Highway 79 — provides a direct path to downtown Clarksville, which is approximately 6 miles south of Governor’s Square. The area immediately around Wilma Rudolph has a noise sound score between busy and loud, or 65 to 50. Several Clarksville Transit System bus stops also exist along Wilma Rudolph. Tennova Healthcare - Clarksville, the city’s only major medical facility, sits on the outskirts of the neighborhood. The hospital has been a major economic driver for the area, helping draw restaurants and other medical practices over the years. For out of state air travel, residents go to the Nashville International Airport, which is 54 miles from Governor’s Square.Tastings at Old Glory Distilling Co. and incoming Dave and Buster’s
The chain brands in Governor’s Square are as popular as the local staples. Many here enjoy stopping for lunch at Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen, which provides an outdoor patio with shaded tables. Drake’s is another popular hangout for both craft cocktails and brews and a menu with items ranging from pineapple burgers to sushi rolls. One of the biggest local staples around here is the Old Glory Distilling Co. just east of Wilma Rudolph Boulevard. The distillery is tough to miss as it runs out of a brick industrial building with a prominent red neon sign hanging above the roof. In addition to hosting whiskey tastings and tours, the establishment recently launched a restaurant serving Southern comfort fare like hours-long smoked brisket and fried chicken. Desserts include a lemon bread topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, gin and tonic lemon curd and several blueberries. Along with its makeover, the mall is set to soon get a Dave & Buster’s, a national chain known for combining restaurants and bars with video game arcades. Existing grocery shopping options include a Kroger and Publix, but an ALDI will soon join the mall.

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.
