Montgomery, GA

Located about 13 miles south of downtown Savannah, Montgomery offers a peaceful slice of coastal Georgia living. Tucked between the Vernon, Moon, and Burnside rivers, the area is surrounded by tidal creeks, salt marshes, and moss-draped live oaks. With around 4,500 residents, it provides a relaxed, quiet escape where everyday routines often revolve around the water, while keeping the dining, culture, and conveniences of the historic district within an easy drive.

The community takes its name from the Montgomery family, who held colonial land grants here in the seventeenth century. Over the generations, it grew into a favorite retreat for boaters, anglers, and families looking for quiet neighborhoods along the marsh. Because it remains an unincorporated Chatham County community, Montgomery retains an unhurried residential atmosphere with shaded streets and scenic dockside views. For anyone relocating to the Savannah area who wants easy access to the water and classic Lowcountry scenery, Montgomery offers a welcoming, laid-back place to call home.
