Located in the SoDo district of Bowling Green, formally known as The Jessee Building built in 1890, the recently renovated 511 Flats now boasts 7 upscale apartment spaces featuring modern amenities with an historic flair. This historic mixed-use building , a two story brick masonry structure with beautiful detailing, has been restored with updated commercial spaces on ground floor and apartments above. The restoration of 511 brought original brickwork, timber beams and wood floors back to life while adding modern finishes and amenities in the living, dining and bathing spaces. By curating the new and old, the original character is enhanced by taking advantage of the abundant natural light from the large, restored windows and the elevated ceiling height. A new set of residential balconies and a proposed commercial terrace take advantage of the new Roebuck Square and help knit this historic structure into the public life of the SoDo District. Fully furnished, mostly IKEA furniture, two bedroom apartment with WiFi. Full kitchen with dishes, pots, pans, etc. Exposed brick wall in bedroom with luxury mattress and large walk in closet.

Known primarily as the only place in the U.S. that manufactures Corvettes and for the large ancient cavern that sits in the center of the city, Bowling Green has built a thriving tourist business on cars and caves. At the General Motors Corvette Assembly Plant, visitors can see the step-by-step production of America's favorite sports car. The Corvette Museum includes one-of-a-kind prototypes, that were designed but never manufactured, among other Corvette memorabilia. To view awesome creations made by nature head to the Lost River Valley and Cave. Take the underground boat tour, on the shortest deep river in the world, to see a land formation that is more than 10,000 years old and has been used as shelter by Native Americans and Civil War soldiers. Though Bowling Green never officially left the Union, it's home to a number of historic war landmarks, exquisite old homes and remarkable buildings that can be visited on foot or by car during a leisurely drive through this beautiful part of the country.
