What's the story of this place? It seems to have one of the most peculiar set ups of any town I've ever seen, with its quaint little downtown area seemingly completely isolated on one side of the river and basically the entire rest of the town on the other.
How the heck did that come to be?
I don't really know the answer to the question, but Wetumpka has a pretty interesting history. It was first settled by white men when the French established Fort Toulouse in the early 1700s. It has withstood a lot of destruction and hardship from catastrophic fires, floods, war, and economic despair. I think initially there was "East Wetumpka" and "West Wetumpka." That could explain the weird layout.

Do you have kids who will attend public school? This is the only question that matters. Answer that, and I can get you some good information

FWIW If you have kids in HS, it seemed like Wetumpka HS had a pretty vibrant STEM program 10 yrs ago

Autauga Co and Prattville. Being a little closer to Bham is a good thing

Dunno, but I like the town.

What places are nice or decent? I’m sure Montgomery proper isn’t that great obviously. What are some places within 30 minutes that are decent to nice?
You looking for a place to live around Montgomery?
If so there are a couple of new patio homes going up in Emerald Mountain near the golf course & I think there are a couple of existing for sale
There are one or 2 being built in The Village and some existing homes for sale also check in Stonegate which both are off of Dozier Rd
The 3 above are all near the toll road to put you in East Montgomery
There are plenty of places in Prattville that are all nice
They may even have some historic homes for sale near the downtown area
Have a friend debating on selling his 2nd house in the Deer Trace Qual Run area that would need some tidying up
MIllbrook has a few pockets of the crime element
Wetumpka has some nice places I'd probably stay away from Crenshaw/Gossum area
New construction in the early phases in 2 separate places North & West of Downtown
Little birdie tells me a cotton farmer just sold off a couple hundred acres and the plan is to build homes in Holtville area(Go Away)
Will all of that said I would avoid living in Montgomery unless you plan on living out east in Green Chase Town Lakes Wynlakes or the like
County Downs off Atl Hwy is also another pretty good neighborhood
Just an FYI MPD currently has around 290 cops for a city that should have 490

Was considered to be the state capitol at one point
Was hit by an ancient asteroid
An 80 year old documentary that was done on my area that is pretty cool to watch
