Montgomery, Georgia is a peaceful coastal community just south of Savannah, bordered by the Moon, Vernon, and Burnside Rivers. With a population just shy of 4,500, it's the kind of place where residents enjoy both seclusion and connection—an escape from the pace of the city without sacrificing proximity to it. This small but steady community thrives in a landscape shaped by marshes, waterways, and shaded neighborhoods where Spanish moss hangs heavy from the oaks.

Though modest in size, Montgomery has roots that run deep. Some of the earliest European land grants in Georgia were issued in this area in the late 1600s, given to three Scottish brothers named Montgomery. Their settlement didn’t last long due to illness and harsh terrain, but their name stayed—and so did the stories. Local legend still speaks of one brother burying a coin beneath an old oak for good luck, and folks say you can feel the difference when you pass that tree, especially under a full moon.

Today, Montgomery blends that layered history with modern living. Much of the area is residential, but it hums with small pockets of local life. Just up the road in nearby Vernonburg or Montgomery Crossroads, you'll find beloved restaurants like Driftaway Café. Known for fresh seafood and Southern classics with a twist, the café is famous for its blackened mahi tacos and crab stew. It’s the kind of place where neighbors greet each other by name, and it’s packed on Friday nights with families grabbing dinner after a long week.

Nearby, Coach’s Corner is a local institution, not just for its pub-style menu but for the live music and sports-viewing scene it’s built over the years. People come for the wings and beer, sure—but they stay for the community atmosphere and the occasional local band playing under the twinkle lights out back. It’s a neighborhood staple that brings people together, whether for a Georgia game or just a casual night out.

Beyond food, the local economy includes businesses like Wyld Dock Bar, perched right on the river. It’s both a launching point for boating excursions and a spot to catch lowcountry sunsets over a cold drink. Montgomery also benefits from its proximity to Sandfly, where places like Cutter’s Point Coffee and the original Sandfly BBQ keep locals well-fed and caffeinated.

Outdoor life is a huge part of the culture here. The surrounding rivers offer up kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing nearly year-round. Early risers often hit the water before dawn, chasing red drum or watching herons glide across the misty marshes. The tidal flow sets the rhythm of life in Montgomery, and it’s not unusual for weekend plans to revolve around high tide and the smell of salt in the air.

There’s no annual festival that puts Montgomery on the map, but locals hold tight to their own traditions. Each December, families light up Old Montgomery Road with handmade lanterns and glowing decorations, a word-of-mouth event that draws more people every year. In spring, community yard sales stretch block to block, with homemade lemonade stands and porch music adding a neighborly rhythm to the day.

While housing has grown in recent years, it remains relatively spread out, with a mix of older homes and newer construction. Large lots and wooded backyards are common, and that natural setting is part of the appeal. Of course, it also means dealing with the occasional pest problem—especially in warmer months when mosquitoes, termites, and rodents tend to make their presence known.
