"Everything is moving east"
Folks in East Montgomery are hard-pressed to want for anything. "Everything is moving east," says Lynn McKinley, a Montgomery native and Realtor with New Waters Realty. "There's really a lot of activity. People are close to shopping, churches, parks and banks. The schools are pretty good out east, too." Due east, central Montgomery's urban environs dissolve into an outlying, rural-like landscape, where a wide selection of housing styles, shopping, dining, schools and entertainment options await. "It's a big area, so it's hard to give many specifics, but, you know, in these subdivisions, neighbors walk around, walk their dogs, ride bicycles and wave to say hi," says McKinley. "There are lots of trees, and, in the springtime, there are a lot of blooms. Azaleas and the like." Montgomery's East seems to grow a little more every day, balancing convenience and lush tree-lined charm.
East Montgomery has quiet and safe communities covered in green landscapes.

Gated and ungated communities dapple the map the area, home to an array of architectural designs, including Colonial Revivals, ranch-style abodes, New Traditionals, Neoclassical estates and more. Overall list prices range from $100,000 to $711,000. The average home value, $209,954, is about the cost of an older four-bedroom, two-bathroom property.
