This is an excellent township to live in. The schools are great and the teachers are great. The township takes good care of the roads and the snow very quickly. The taxes are moderate. The neighborhoods are quiet and the people are friendly. There are lots of parks and dog parks to take your dog or go for a walk. Many people are starting to play pickleball and the township makes sure that there are pickleball courts available to residents. The high school is less than 5 years old and the middle school has had many renovations and added a brand new building. The township was very good at giving us information during the COVID pandemic about how to be safe in the area. Especially how are children will be taken care of during school hours and the hand sanitizer stations and the mask policy. We were kept up to date on all changes and services that were available during COVID at it's heights. We are fortunate to be able to live in a great community. Mont County.
I moved a year ago to Montgomery county and I like it a lot. There are a lot of public transportations which makes moving around a lot easier. I feel somewhat safe in this neighborhood. I work nearby and enjoy the fact that things are not far away from each other. There are a lot of variety of grocery shopping types. There is giant, acme, Whole Foods... many different shopping places too such as mall and boutiques. Nightlife is all right because there are several restaurants that are open late and beautiful small pubs and bars to go to. It is somewhat quite at night and safe. The county is kept pretty and clean. Lots of green areas and very dog friendly. Many habitations are houses that are expensive but beautiful m. There are some affordable apartments to live in that accept animals so that makes it easy if you have a pet. There are several job opportunities with decent pay. But nothing major as in different career fields. Overall I enjoy living here and I will probably keep being
Where I live in Montgomery County is small and has nothing going on. The public school is average; they do what they need to get by and that's it. It's relatively safe, but you hear of robbing, vandalism, or car accidents here and there. It is full of white people and little else.
