Montgomery Estates II

Montgomery Estates II is a small detached-home neighborhood in Montgomery Township, Somerset County, built out along Woodview Drive and Catskill Court in the first half of the 1990s. It is worth being upfront about how thin the sales record is. Two homes have closed here in our BrightMLS data, one in November 2025 at $1,375,001 and one in April 2026 at $1,145,000. Two sales do not support a median, and quoting one would imply more precision than the data carries, so this page works from the pair itself. A short sales record in a pocket like this measures how rarely these houses change hands, not how few of them there are.

The homes

Both closed sales are detached single-family houses of the size Montgomery was building in the early and mid 1990s. The Woodview Drive house was built in 1992 and recorded 4,450 square feet above grade, with five bedrooms, three full baths and a powder room. The Catskill Court house was built in 1996 at 3,504 square feet, with four bedrooms, two full baths and a powder room. That pair sets the core of the neighborhood's housing stock: 1990s detached houses in the 3,500 to 4,450 square foot range, among the larger detached houses in the township without sitting at the top of its market. There is no homeowners association, so each owner maintains their own property, and this is not a senior or 55-plus community. One caveat on the age and size figures. The house listed for sale at the moment is a 1972 build at 2,579 square feet, so at least some older and smaller homes carry this subdivision name, and the 1992 to 1996 range describes the two sales rather than every house on these streets.

Streets and setting

The neighborhood is organized around two streets, Woodview Drive and Catskill Court, and Catskill Court is a cul-de-sac. That matters more than it sounds. A court with no through traffic is a different everyday environment from a connector street, and street position is one of the few things about a house that cannot be renovated later. Both closed sales carry the Belle Mead 08502 mailing address, which covers a large share of Montgomery Township. Route 206 is the main north-south road through this part of the township, running toward Princeton in one direction and Hillsborough and Somerville in the other, and it carries most of the local driving. Because so few homes trade here, it is worth walking both streets rather than judging from listing photos: position on the court, position along the drive, and the setback and spacing of neighboring houses vary more than an address suggests.

Schools and commute

Every home here is served by Montgomery Township Public Schools in Somerset County, which is the main reason most buyers look at this part of the township in the first place. The specific elementary assignment depends on the street address, so it is worth confirming for the individual house rather than for the neighborhood as a whole. For commuting, Route 206 is the local spine, running south toward Princeton and the Route 1 corridor and north toward Hillsborough, Somerville and the I-287 interchanges. Montgomery Township has no train station of its own, so rail commuters drive to one, most often Princeton Junction on the NJ Transit Northeast Corridor line. Anyone whose decision depends on the commute should drive the actual route at the actual departure time rather than trusting a map estimate, because the roads around Princeton behave very differently at rush hour.

Market position

The two closings are the whole record, so the honest way to describe pricing here is the pair: $1,375,001 in November 2025 and $1,145,000 in April 2026. Both cleared their original asking prices, by roughly 6 percent and 4 percent, and both went under contract quickly, in 13 and 20 days. For context, the median for detached homes across Montgomery Township over the last 24 months is $1,025,000, so both of these houses sold above the township's detached median, the lower one by about 12 percent. That is a step above the middle of the township rather than a different market. The house on the market right now is asking $974,900, below the township median, and it is a 1972 build at 2,579 square feet, so it is not a like-for-like read on what the two sold houses would fetch. With a record this short, pricing either side of a deal comes down to a handful of comparables from the wider township and to what a specific owner has actually done to the house, rather than to a neighborhood average.
