A star-struck community in Montgomery
Just over 15 miles north of Montgomery, Alabama, Wetumpka sprawls along the Coosa River's verdant shores with a history tied to the stars. Millions of years ago, a cosmic object struck the earth, forming a crater that eroded into the unique crescent hills on the city's east side. This was only the beginning of Wetumpka's history. The land holds remnants of the French and Indian War as well as memories of the Creek War of the War of 1812. Today, community pride, local businesses and access to the outdoors characterize Wetumpka. It's the county seat of Elmore County and is home to a quaint, historic downtown. Surrounded by dense forests and farmland with the river as its beating heart, Wetumpka's ample natural beauty pairs well with its small-town charm. It's a unique city that many are happy to call home.
Blending suburbia and country living
The average year that homes in Wetumpka were built is 1986, so midcentury and contemporary aesthetics blend on each leafy street. New Traditional architecture is one of the area's more dominant styles. These homes typically feature driveways and two-car garages. Overall list prices range from $76,000 to $424,000.
