Downtown Montgomery Montgomery, AL

An entertaining downtown district that exemplifies southern hospitality

Charming Community Family-Friendly

When it comes to southern hospitality, there’s hardly a city that exemplifies that virtue more than Montgomery. The downtown district of the city is filled with apartments that are both spacious and affordable, making them ideal for professionals and families. Close proximity to the Interstate 85 makes it easy to head to other areas in the city and beyond. For passing the time, there’s little better than seeing a baseball game at Riverwalk Stadium, home of the Montgomery Biscuits. Luxury suites are available for anyone looking to splurge, but those looking to reign in their spending can still enjoy the picnic areas and children's playground by the third base line. Anyone simply looking for some good food is in luck, with popular options such as Lek's Railroad Thai and Capital Oyster Bar highlighting the area's diverse cuisine.

Sometimes it can get very sketchy. Tagings on the walls and much gang affiliations go on here. Not much security and a lot of pot smokers which make us feel uneasy. There are a lot of apartments so they lurk in all kinds of places stairs alleys and even parking lots. I don't want to live here but I don't really have a choice.
