Melissa's Take
Ask yourself one question: on a Tuesday at 7pm, where do you want to be? That answer picks the town faster than any spreadsheet.

So which one?
The honest tie-breaker.
Alvaton buys you space and quiet at the cost of a 20-minute drive to everything. Bowling Green buys you convenience and energy at the cost of elbow room. There is no tiebreaker except your own life.
