Suburbia near the woods
Tucked away in the calm suburbs of northern Decatur, the majority of Montgomery Hills consists of a single loop dotted with fewer than 100 houses. In fact, more of this neighborhood’s acreage is occupied by woodlands than by homes. Reaching only as far west as the lazy waters of the Stevens Creek, this community offers a quiet, bucolic atmosphere less than a mile from a hub of local shopping, dining and entertainment.
Montgomery Hills is tucked away in the suburbs of northern Decatur.
