Community Guide

Living in Montgomery, Texas

Get to know Montgomery

Welcome to Montgomery

Montgomery ISD serves the city. Lakefront and lake-access subdivisions on the west shore trade alongside the master-planned communities on FM 149 and FM 1097.

Subdivision lots of under a quarter acre are the norm, though a few acreage listings still appear. New construction and resale split the current listings roughly down the middle. FEMA special flood hazard areas touch only a small share of the current listings. Below, the live figures from our MLS feed: what is listed, what it sells for, and how fast.
