The city is also proud to call itself the “BBQ Capital of the World“ hosting an International BBQ-fest every year.

Owensboro is known for its extremely low crime rate and very friendly neighborhoods. They may even stop to say hello and know you on a first name basis—a rare find these days.

Much of Owensboro is considered residential and suburban. It’s not as large of a city as neighboring Evansville (Indiana) and is a bit more quiet and laid-back. The downtown area, for example, is undergoing a major overhaul. While downtown does currently boast great stores, museums and eateries, the redevelopment plan will change the face of the riverfront. Apartment living down here is ideal for young singles and working professionals. Many of the apartments are new or renovated, with upgraded interiors and quaint brick exteriors, while some are more of a live/work option.

South Owensboro is a popular neighborhood for families and singles alike. That’s because there is no real north Owensboro, unless the river counts. Close to campus and the highway this location can’t be beat. The housing costs and amenities are also undeniably great. Many apartments in this location are set back on property, giving the residents a secluded and relaxed feeling while offering them upgrades and perks such as being located on the greenbelt walking path and allowing pets. The homes here also tend to be set on large pieces of property. Though these properties aren’t huge in size they’re cozy, comfortable and on tree-lined streets. How quaint!

Where you live in South Owensboro is all about what you’re looking for in terms of surroundings. The more southeast you live, the closer to the airport and college campus you’ll be. The more southwest, the closer to parks and more suburban the area will get. Either way you’ll have access to the acclaimed school districts and will only be minutes from the happenings of Downtown Owensboro.

With 18 square miles of parks, arts and riverfront living, Owensboro is beloved by its residents and visitors alike. We hope you find the apartment living (and the BBQ) here to be everything you hoped for. Good luck in your apartment hunt!
