Owensboro, Kentucky's third-largest city, is nine miles south of Reo.

Reo is home to several subdivisions, a bank, two schools, a popular five-screen drive-in movie theater (the Holiday Drive-In), a gas station/Wendy's restaurant and four automobile dealerships, along with a number of other businesses.
