WEATHER
In Texas, when it’s cold, it’s cold, and when it’s hot, it’s REALLY hot.
BUGS
The bugs here can be a problem. But the solution that most Alabamians go to to deal with that is yard spraying, and that takes care of most of the issue.
ALLERGIES
This is one that you really have to keep in mind. The pollen here during the Spring especially is NUTS.
FLAT - No Mountains
This one is a bit personal, but hey...I like Mountains!
SALES TAX
10% sales tax in Montgomery is no joke
TORNADOES
While these don't cause much of a problem for most of the year, it is something to keep in mind.

Are you still a realtor? I need a rental studio or single family house.
@@CaptainMorganJnr Yes! Give me a call, I'd love to help you find a house.
You can drive 3-4 hours and also be in the Appalachian Mountains in NE Alabama. Go to Mentone Alabama and rent a cabin with Mountain views. So you can go Orange Beach in 3 hours or 3-4 hours from Montgomery and go to the Mountains. The city of Mentone Alabama is on top of Lookout Mountain.
You’re right! Thank you for your contribution. Are you in North Alabama?
Tennessee!?
Hi Britt - LOL - I hope all is well. My husband and I moved to Montgomery from Colorado in 2021. I hope you remember who I am. You were such an AMAZING help to us "newbies" to Montgomery. I look forward to listening to your POV's. Best wishes and take care! :)
Of course I remember who you are! I’m glad and thank you for the kind words! Thank you for watching. Call or text me. I’d love to hear from you.
Great job on the video. I lived there for 17 years they were the funnest years of my life.
Thanks for watching! Are you thinking of moving to Montgomery again?
This is true, but I like the weather and the location of the state is great.
Yeah you get used to the weather. No doubt it’s hot but bearable. Do you currently live in Montgomery?
@@livinginmontgomeryalabama - Yes, I live in Taylor Lakes
Great video😊 planning to move to Montgomery with a few month. Will watch more videos
Hey 👋! Thanks for watching! Where are you moving from?
@@livinginmontgomeryalabama washington 🌲🌿🌧
That's awesome! Can't wait to meet!
I was considering Prattville but wasn’t able to find any real good apartments. Now, I’m looking into Madison or Huntsville.
I lived in Coy, AL for about 5-6 months which gets mostly Florida weather so I’m aware of the weather! I would love any tips you have. I’ll be in AL NEXT WEEK to look at apartments.
Also, fun fact about mosquitoes: they like certain blood types. I rarely get bit by them. And Montgomery sales tax is DEF high as he’ll for no reason! To combat that, I would do mostly online ordering and pick up to get discounts 😂
Thanks for watching. Let me know if you need an agent up there. I have a big agent network!
Yeah, Prattville is really expensive that’s where the Saditty people are. I live in Wetumpka but work in Macgomery.
We are moving to Montgomery in 6 to 9 months. Nice video
Thanks for watching! Where are you moving from?
@@livinginmontgomeryalabama Vegas. Just to crazy here for us and we aren't desert people
We are looking for a realtor there. We are 80% packed. Movers paid for and now just searching for a home
@@brianpoppe2578 give me a call. I’d love to help. I’m a licensed realtor, but I’m sure by now you’ve realized that 😊
You are going to love it here in Montgomery, Alabama. I was in Vegas last week! I love Montgomery, Alabama....& you will too !! We have a new Whitewater Rafting Park opening up, next year 2022. Do not be tricked into thinking that you will need to reside in a city that is located "outside" of Montgomery....or "near" Montgomery. You will be conducting all of your "real" business in Montgomery: jobs, shopping, church, recreation, entertainment....so, you might as well live where you, " work, learn & grow." The Interstates 85 & 65 are a bother, if you live outside of Montgomery & have to travel back & forth daily. Avoid that drama & buy your home in the City of Montgomery, Alabama !!!!
You can also drive up to 2 hrs Birmingham and stop by Pelham we also have national park for cycling. Check out Oak Mountain State Park. There are curvy roads in between mountain 🏔️ Leeds, AL on Grants Mill Road not far from Lake Purdy.
@CoCoDominici Yes! Birmingham is another great choice that's close by
Thank you for making videos about Montgomery. I did not know there is tornado in Montgomery until I watch your video. May I know how people survive through the tornadoes? Just hearing thunderstorm, strong wind is scary enough 🥹
Thanks for watching! Just like most places, we have episodes of severe weather. Very rarely do they cause major damage or risk of life, but occasionally they do. Unfortunately, this is just something you cannot escape no matter where you go.
I am grateful to no longer live in Alabama largely because of long-track tornadoes. Dixie Alley will eventually overtake Tornado Alley. What about the crime? Please stay safe and well.
Hey thanks for watching! Where did you move to?
Even Though Montgomery AL is Sales Tax is Expensive, but the Sales Tax in Montgomery AL does not come prepare to Sales Taxes in Florida, California, Wisconsin, and New York State.
You’re right! We’re lucky to have the affordability we have for sure. Where do you live currently?
@@livinginmontgomeryalabama I live in Alabama right now, but I use to live in Wisconsin, California, and Florida once.
It's March 2023 let me update my comment. We got a new chief of police Daryl Albert a year or so ago and he has really improved the crime drugs etc with his officers under him.
My neighborhood is improving. Alot more like the old neighborhood I knew 30 years ago.
Our city council is working on homeless and squatter situation.
I at one point was wanting to move but have decided to stay.
Thank you for the update! I’m glad to hear things are improving in some areas. Leadership makes all the difference
@Living in Montgomery Alabama yes it does. Other things that are being done by a certain leader that is presently in office, that has brought other cities down, is showing its effect on Montgomery but we're praying he gets out of office this year. Other things are improving. I'm very involved with the police in reference to my neighborhood and have been for 6 years. That also makes a difference. People have to get involved and not be afraid of the people bringing your neighborhood down. They will eventually get the message and either straighten up or move. It can be done.
Born in Montgomery and have lived on 30A for 14 years..
We love 30A! Its our go-to beach area for sure. Thanks for watching! What brought you to the channel?
He telling the truth.
Hey thanks for watching!
Are you from Montgomery?
Beutiful beaches though the “panhandle” reminds me of Galveston Texas
Great beaches! Thanks for watching! Where are you currently?
Are there any other positives to Montgomery besides being close to the Gulf Beaches? I would need something more than just that… 🤨
Hey Anna! Thanks for watching! Tons of positives..low cost of living, low property taxes, great communities. Where are you moving from?
@@livinginmontgomeryalabama is it safe? Not moving at the moment… we are in Pensacola FL, but I’ve been looking at different areas in Alabama, as it seems to have lower cost of living and much cheaper housing. I’m just watching different videos to get an idea of what’s out there. I hear Huntsville in nice, as well as lower Alabama towns that we are close to now such as Daphne and Fairhope.
Can you do a north Montgomery like atl hwy and above we dont get to see great neighborhoods like dalradia and other non hoas
Great idea! I already have a breakdown of each area of Montgomery planned to do on my calendar, so you and I are on the same wavelength 💯💥
Good morning sir
How long is AUBURN UNIVERSITY from your house sir .
This is Sarigommula Murali Hyderabad, Telangana, India.
Good evening Sarigommula. Auburn University is about 45min drive from Montgomery but we have Auburn University Montgomery (AUM) here! When will you be moving?
Im looking into moving to Montgomery the end of November. Im from South Fl. Im so scared lol
No need to be scared! That’s what I’m here for. I know pretty much everything about Montgomery. Call or text me and we can talk about it.
No need to be scared. The Montgomery, Alabama hospitality is awesome! If you need help, the information number is 311 or 411. Welcome to Montgomery, Alabama !!
@@sandragibbs797 agree! Thanks for your input 🙂
Me too😂 first was the crime now the tornadoes
From my time living in Montgomery:
Best thing: The people
Worse thing: heat/humidity
0% sales tax is hefty but the property taxes are super attractive.
Thanks Steven! Thanks for your contribution!
Hello I am moving next week for my job .
Thanks for watching! Where are you moving from?
Welcome to Montgomery, Alabama !!!!
I would have said the amount of rain we get in Montgomery AL is immense! Typically when it rains it does not rain by inches it rains by feet if not gallons. I have two planters near our pool and they fill right up with water which is Amazing to me... Also rain is good refill up the pool but can;t just go out and mow your lawn when it rains so much. Also customer service is one of the worst I have ever experienced in my life. Medical billing is very bad, always get surprise medical bills and have to call call call email email to get these headaches resolved and no one can do their job very well. Montgomery is like moving to a different country but the homes are beautiful here and affordable before Covid came.
It has rained a lot recently 😂😂…
Oh my, thanks for sharing the info! Didn’t know it rain that much there. How do you even walk your dogs?
I am a young adult that lives with his parents I am from Missouri I'm used to weather like that and I'm also used to worse weather like that not when it comes to hot but when it comes to cold I heard you can get a house down there pretty cheap if you buy it I found on a website a house for $50,000 I have a question are those kinds of houses usually run down in that area?
Hey Brandon, thanks for watching...it really depends. Sometimes you can get a great deal on homes in Montgomery, and other times you "get what you pay for"...I'd love to help if I can.
We are moving to Prattsville for the more rural feel. I'm nervous about the crime in Montgomery can you reassure me a bit? How bad is it really?
Hey thanks for watching! For any crime stats or questions I would encourage you to check local resources as I’m limited on what I can recommend based on those stats.
crime is in Prattville also. You can't run from crime. Prattville is next to Montgomery.
Moving towards Opelika auburn on east Montgomery you’re good
Lots of new construction out east for sure. How long have you lived or did you live here?
You can drive two and a half or 3 hours in the opposite direction from Montgomery, and be in the Appalachian mountains.
You’re right! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Best thing about Montgomery Alabama is Florida?
Thanks for watching. The proximity to the beach.
If i survived living in Chicago i could take a chance! 😅😅
Haha 😂
Trust me, it's not a lot of RANDOM CRIMES...MOSTLY PEOPLE WHO KNOW EACH OTHER THAT ARE BEEFING
Also, Living in Chicago IL is more more more more Expensive than Living in Montgomery AL for real.
The trade-off for the sales tax being so high in Montgomery is that the property taxes in Alabama are so low.
The crime in Montgomery is a problem. The east side is safest.
Thanks for watching! Montgomery Mall was the best mall hands down
I live in 36117. In one year there have been five people shot to death. I CANNOT WAIT TO MOVE!
Yea lol west side is pretty bad
I don't like the south at all in general. Been in prattville a year now. 4th state I've lived in. I've also lived in another country for a few years. The humidity is disgusting. SO MANY BUGS. Everything is very run down, not well kept, garbage everywhere. And the paper mills make a sewage smell that can be smelled within a 50 mile radius. I also can't stand that forced "southern hospitality" .... it just makes me feel uncomfortable and it doesn't come off as genuine anyway.
@BOBcrazyguitarguy the humidity is pretty bad, and as someone who's lived here my whole life, you never learn to like it 😂. I don't agree that everything is run down and yes, the paper mill smells bad, but I might smell it once a month at most.
What about southern hospitality feels forced?
Why are the red states in the South particularly are there 4:00 still to this day big economic disparity inadequate services in(certain areas) an salaries haven’t increased to keep up with the cost of living Iam quite sure it has it’s good points though there’s good an bad everywhere
That question is above my pay grade 😂
That's because people down there refused to evolve like the rest of the country.
Like Montgomery is not good become they don’t have much to even do. Also they don’t have a FBS team. They just have the Alabama State Hornets. And it so dangerous then Birmingham because of their dangerous hoods. I can talk trash about them all night but Montgomery is not good. I went there sometimes when I go to and from Mobile.
@Alab207 thanks for watching. I'm curious what parts you think are dangerous? If we had a football team, would that change your mind?
@@livinginmontgomeryalabama Yes and thank you
Hey guys welcome to Montgomery,AL. we also have one of the best metropolitan areas 👉2.5 hrs away in Atlanta Georgia. 😋
@CoCoDominici The fact that you can take a day trip to a major city, and not have to pay the prices of a major city is a huge plus. We got to Atlanta several times a year bc its just nice to have the convenience.
Have you gone to any professional sports events in Atlanta?
The crime in Montgomery is horrible its like the ghetto u get robbed in broad daylight
Like any city beyond a certain size and population, Montgomery has areas that are less safe, but also like any city, most of the people and areas are fine.
It may strike you as odd based on your comments, but I don’t know anyone who has been robbed in broad daylight…or otherwise
People always say things like this about Montgomery but even back in my youth when I was doing some really wild stuff I've never seen anyone get robbed in broad daylight, held at gunpoint, or carjacked. Most of the property crime is kids stealing from unlocked cars or running in someone's house because they left a game console/TV box out in plain sight. Most of the violent crime is drug/gang-related and usually doesn't spill over to the average person. It's the same as any other city imo... Tuscaloosa is half the size with way higher housing costs, lower pay, and pretty much the same crime rates.
Yeah car jacking and robberies in broad daylight definitely happens in New Orleans and Montgomery seems so much quieter. I am looking to go to Montgomery in near future
95? Come to Sacramento
Ha! I’ve been there. It’s definitely hot
Hahahaha Sacramento doesn’t have nearly as much humidity but it’s horrible. What I don’t like about Sacramento is the smog you have that should accompany a city 10 times its size. The Central Valley is the same.
