Last week we told you all about four of the top eight reasons to move to Montgomery, but they were just a drop in the bucket!  Today you will discover even more about why Montgomery is such a magnificent place to live.

First, let’s recap reasons 1-4. We talked about the affordability factor, the interesting history, the vibrant music and arts scene, and the friendly people and neighborhoods filled with southern hospitality.

Now let’s move on with reasons 5-8:

  1. COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES


There are several higher education choices available to those living and thriving in Montgomery. We have Alabama State University, Auburn University at Montgomery, Huntington College, Faulkner University, Amridge University, and more! If you want access to higher education without having to “go away” to college, Montgomery is a great place to live!

  1. THE GREAT OUTDOORS


Are you an outdoor person? If so, you will have no problem finding things to do in Montgomery. Scenic beauty is everywhere and provides an inviting natural setting for hiking, biking, climbing, fishing and more. Places such as Blount Cultural Park, the Hannah Daye Ridling Bark Park and the planetarium at Oak Park are just a few that offer fun outdoor activities. There are also public golf courses and playgrounds for kids of all ages!

  1. THE FOOD


What can we say? People LOVE food! While food choices might not be the main reason you should move somewhere, having tasty options can certainly make a place seem more appealing! If you are a “foodie”, one of the best parts about Montgomery is the delectable cuisine you will find here. From down home southern cooking to exquisite fine dining, you will love the food available to you in Montgomery!

  1. THE WEATHER


If you like mild temperatures, Montgomery is the right place for you. The weather is ideal all year ‘round! Because it is a subtropical climate, you will enjoy hot summers and mild winters, meaning you can enjoy time outdoors no matter what the season!

Relocating to a lovely, historical, family friendly city with so much to offer will be a great move for you and your family!

Wednesday, September 7, 2022
by The Hat Team

Have you been thinking about relocating? Maybe you are looking to live somewhere where you can get more bang for your buck, or somewhere that has a lot to offer when it comes to arts, culture, and outdoor activities. Or…better yet, somewhere that gives you both! If so, we have the perfect place for you: Magnificent Montgomery, Alabama!

Here are some reasons why you should be moving to Montgomery:

  1. AFFORDABILITY

Montgomery enjoys one of the lowest costs of living anywhere in the country (well below the national average). Even with higher housing prices everywhere, there are still a lot of affordable options in Montgomery, and you might be surprised to discover how much house you can afford. In addition to affordable home prices, you will enjoy inexpensive taxes and a low cost of living, meaning your salary or retirement will stretch further. Per usnews.com, the median price for a family home in Montgomery is $149,700 while the national average is $315,743. And property taxes are some of lowest in the nation.

Let’s take a peek at what you can get for just $265,000 in a desirable neighborhood in Montgomery: 3466 Southview Avenue


Entertain family and friends in classic style in this traditional yet updated and completely remodeled home in Edgewood! The large formal living room features a beautiful marble fireplace, the modern kitchen is open to the den/family room with tons of natural light, attractive bathrooms, and hard wood floors throughout. Outdoor lovers will enjoy the elevated deck overlooking the private back yard. The garage has a nice storage room that could be turned into an office or man cave. New roof and neutral colors. This is a great house in one of Montgomery’s most desirable neighborhoods.

You may be thinking that the affordability is great but wondering if Montgomery is a nice place to live. Let’s find out as we continue our list of reasons to move here:

  1. HISTORY


If you are a history buff, Montgomery will not disappoint! From the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement, Montgomery has played a vital role in American history. There are historic landmarks and preserved buildings galore for you to explore. The Civil Rights Museum, Rosa Parks Museum and the Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald Museum and the Notional Memoria for Peace and Justice are popular sites to enjoy.

  1. MUSIC & ARTS


There is no shortage of music and arts in Montgomery. As the birthplace of bluesman “TeeTot” Payne and crooner Nat King Cole, this city boasts a rich musical legacy. And fine arts can be found in The Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts. At any given time you can revel in the sounds of the Montgomery Symphony Orchestra, delight in a performance by the Montgomery Ballet or the River Region Ballet or get your Shakespeare on at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. So, if music and arts are your thing, Montgomery is a great place to live!

  1. THE PEOPLE & NEIGHBORHOODS


I am sure you have heard of “southern hospitality”. Well, Montgomery is brimming with it! Beautiful, historic neighborhoods nestled among mature trees and gorgeous gardens lend themselves to wanting to get out and meet your neighbors. Montgomery feels like the “biggest small town” in America where you will feel a welcoming sense of community.

These are just four of the top eight reasons why you should consider moving to Montgomery. Come back next week to hear more about all that this great city has to offer!
