Educational opportunities and plentiful housing op­tions close to big employers are two of the attractions of the Montgomery East neigh­borhood.

Explosive growth behind Montgomery East in the past 15 years testifies to the popu­larity of the area of the Capi­tal City. Hidden Meadows, The Woods and Dexter Ridge are some of the new develop­ments that have been built north of Montgomery East off Wares Ferry Road.

Homes built in the early 1980s with three or more bed­rooms are the norm in the large neighborhood.

Streets and cul-de-sacs feed off the two main neighbor­hood arteries of Dunbarton and North Burbank drives.

Lots provide backyards large enough for pools, play­grounds or landscaped areas. Most home designs are one story. Homeowners have added sunrooms, additions or decks on the mostly flat terrain in the neighborhood.

Realtor Brenda Hanna said Montgomery East is conven­ience to popular shopping venues and schools along with its price point make the neighborhood attractive to prospective homebuyers in any stage of life.

“It’s got location, location, location!” Hanna said. “Homes are affordably priced with excellent selections for both single, first-time buyers and retirees. It’s also a well-established neighborhood.”

Ages of homes vary from those built in the 1970s through the 1990s.

One three-bedroom, two-bath home on Bangor Court is listed for sale at $89,900.

“It’s completely updated with a large great room with a fireplace, and beautiful cherry laminate flooring,” Hanna said. “It also includes a covered patio, and a very private, large fully fenced backyard with trees.”

A four-bedroom, two-bath home on North Burbank Drive is listed for sale at $103,900. It offers a spacious front yard, detached storage, a huge great room and a backyard that backs up to the neighborhood park. The home was built in 1984.
