Nestled in the heart of Montgomery County, Montgomery, Texas, is a charming small town with a rich history and a welcoming community. Just 50 miles northwest of downtown Houston, this city offers a unique blend of rural beauty and modern conveniences. Here are 10 things to love about living in Montgomery!
1. Historic Small-Town Charm
Montgomery is one of the oldest towns in Texas and is famously known as the birthplace of the Texas flag. The city’s downtown area boasts beautifully preserved 19th-century architecture, unique antique shops, and the Montgomery Historical Society’s Lone Star Flag Park, a must-see for history buffs.
2. Scenic Outdoor Spaces
Outdoor enthusiasts will love Montgomery’s abundance of natural beauty. Fernland Historical Park offers scenic walking trails surrounded by historic log cabins, while Memory Park features serene gardens and a picturesque pond. Nearby Lake Conroe is perfect for boating, fishing, and waterfront relaxation.
3. Strong Sense of Community
Montgomery is a tight-knit community where neighbors know each other and local events bring everyone together. From the annual Montgomery Wine & Music Fest to Christmas in Historic Montgomery, the town offers plenty of opportunities to connect and celebrate.
4. Top-Rated Schools
Montgomery Independent School District is highly regarded for its excellent academic programs and extracurricular activities. Schools like Montgomery High School and Keenan Elementary School offer a strong educational foundation and a range of sports and arts programs to inspire students.
5. Proximity to Lake Conroe
Living in Montgomery means having easy access to Lake Conroe, a 21,000-acre lake offering endless recreational activities. Whether you enjoy jet skiing, paddleboarding, or dining at lakeside restaurants like Walden’s Lakeview Dining, the lake is a central part of life in Montgomery.
6. Unique Local Businesses
Montgomery’s local businesses add to its charm. Boutiques like The Rancher’s Daughter and antique stores such as The Oaks of Montgomery Antiques offer one-of-a-kind shopping experiences. Plus, local artisans and vendors showcase their goods at the monthly Farmers Market.
7. Delicious Dining Options
Montgomery is home to some fantastic eateries. Cozy up with comfort food at The Eatery at Hodge Podge Lodge, or enjoy a juicy steak at Tony’s Italian Delicatessen. For a sweet treat, stop by Montgomery Bakehouse for fresh pastries and cakes.
8. Family-Friendly Atmosphere with Diverse Housing Options
Montgomery offers families a safe, welcoming environment with plenty of activities and amenities for all ages. Parks like Cedar Brake Park provide playgrounds, picnic areas, and expansive green spaces perfect for outdoor play and relaxation. The town’s vibrant community spirit shines through events like movie nights, farmers' markets, and seasonal festivals, creating endless opportunities for connection and fun. Whether you're looking for a cozy starter home or a spacious family residence, neighborhoods like Montgomery Trace, Woodforest, Walden, and April Sound offer a range of affordable housing options in a warm, tight-knit community.
9. Convenient Location
While Montgomery retains its small-town feel, it’s conveniently located near major cities. Downtown Houston is just an hour’s drive away, and The Woodlands, with its upscale shopping and dining, is less than 30 minutes away, offering easy access to big-city amenities.
10. Rich Cultural Heritage
Montgomery’s heritage is celebrated throughout the town. The Nat Hart Davis Museum and Pioneer Complex offers a glimpse into early Texas life, while local festivals often feature live music, historical reenactments, and art displays, highlighting the city’s deep cultural roots.

Easiest Way to Find the Right Suburb of City For You
Please know that scheduling a call with me is the easiest way to determine which city or suburb is best for you. Helping you figure out the best city or suburb is one of my favorite things to do. I pride myself on many things, but this would be the best first step. From there, I can help you figure out your budget. If you are financing your purchase, I can recommend a fantastic lender. Next, we want to take a look at your timeline, and then the fun begins: we will start house-hunting. Once you have narrowed it down to one or two homes, we start the offer writing process, which is another place I shine. Over the last 10 years, I have established a good reputation with listing agents, and I love this communication process. Once you are under contract on a home, I will navigate you to the closing table, starting with a reputable home inspection recommendation. With Jo & Co. by your side, this whole process will be guided and as seamless as possible.
I cannot wait to get started. Hugs, Jo & Edward.
