Secluded residential community surrounded by water
Nestled amid the marshlands just south of Savannah lies Montgomery, a relatively secluded residential neighborhood surrounded by water. The Vernon River is the largest of the waterways that cradle the community. It is joined by the Moon River and Shipyard Creek. Several residents live on the water, but regardless of one's address on the peninsula, the setting offers easy access to the benefits of waterfront living. Montgomery provides an attractive escape among the low country landscape. “It’s tranquil, peaceful,” says Lyn McCuen, an associate broker at Coldwell Banker Access Realty who lives in the neighborhood’s Burnside Island community. “It’s a place to go to get your head back on straight after a busy workday. It’s also a very friendly place. I think because people aren’t in such a hurry.”
Homes in Montgomery are located in quiet neighborhoods and surrounded by water.
Montgomery is a seclude neighborhood but still only a short drive to downtown Savannah.

Secure a spot by the water
Private docks and boats dot the backyards of the neighborhood’s waterfront homes, which are concentrated on the southern edge of the community. “It’s not only homes on the deep waterfront, but also homes on the marshes with peaceful views and extra privacy,” McCuen says. Waterfront homes are typically priced between $800,000 and $1.3 million-plus. Waterfront living can have its downsides in the wake of severe weather, but McCuen says the neighborhood has rarely been affected. “Most everything out here is considered a flood zone … but we have had very few times where we experienced a hurricane on the outlying islands,” she says. “And if you’re on the marshes and the water gets in, it has somewhere to go.” Single-story ranch-style homes on spacious lots are prominent among inland housing typically priced between the low $300,000s and mid-$600,000s. “There are a lot of interior lots where people can afford to buy,” says George Cohen, a Realtor and advisor with Engel & Volkers who has sold multiple properties in Montgomery. Traditionally, this area has been more affordable than city neighborhoods. Prices are going up everywhere, but there’s still a lot of good values.”
Waterfront homes in Montgomery have covered docks and large backyards.

Reach the rivers with ease
Whether one lives on the water or closer to the heart of the community, the surrounding waterways provide access to nautical adventures and all the water has to offer. Anglers can launch their boats into the Vernon River to find trout, and they can snag bass in the Moon River. Boaters can directly access several other waterways, including the Wilmington River and the open waters of the Atlantic. Residents can travel to Tybee Island, known for its beaches, by boat. Locals can enjoy nearby Butter Bean Beach, which has a swimming area and a boat launch, and visitors just might spot a dolphin or otter swimming by. The nearby Wormsloe Historic Site is another place to enjoy the outdoors. The 822-acre former colonial estate includes a 7-mile nature trail amid the marshes.

Head to Wormsloe for area events
The Wormsloe Historic Site hosts multiple events each year. Wormsloe was once the property of 18th-century English settler Noble Jones. The ruins of the home that stood here represent the oldest structure in the city. Events at Wormsloe reflect the area’s colonial history, including the Colonial Faire and Muster in February, which highlights the music, crafts and more of the time period. Colonial Christmas in December includes period music and history demonstrations. The neighborhood's Pin Point Heritage Museum celebrates the Gullah/Geechee culture that once called the land home when it was a small fishing community.
Wormsloe Historic Site offers tram tours throughout each day near Montgomery.
Wormsloe Historic Site has a visitor center dedicated to the Noble Jones estate in Montgomery.

Crime in Savannah has gone up in the past few years. Murders and shootings seem to have become a normal occurrence in the city. Most of the murders occur within gangs, though. The overall population of the city seems to be fairly safe. There are many spots downtown and in the surrounding area that are never safe to go to, though.
