Two new starter homes on Liberty Street near downtown

Bowling Green

Summary

A local builder will split a narrow Liberty Street lot to build two three-bedroom, roughly 1,600-1,700 square-foot homes priced around $315,000 or more. Immediate neighbors told the commission this beats the alternatives — including Airbnbs and apartments — and welcomed the single-family infill.
