Montgomery Walk

Montgomery Walk is an active townhome community of roughly 98 homes built around 2002 and 2003 along Scarlet Oak Drive and River Birch Circle in Montgomery Township, Somerset County. The homes are two and three bedroom interior and end-of-row townhouses of roughly 1,584 to 2,056 square feet, each with a garage and some with an optional basement. With a median around $645K, an HOA near $400 a month, and the highly regarded Montgomery Township Public Schools, it is one of the township's most liquid and family-friendly townhome addresses.

The homes

The homes were built around 2002 and 2003 as interior and end-of-row townhouses, two to three bedrooms and roughly 1,584 to 2,056 square feet. Every unit has a garage, and some floor plans add an optional basement that expands usable space for a home office, playroom, or storage. End units and the larger plans sit at the top of the range while interior two-bedroom layouts anchor the entry point. Recent activity bears this out: 44 Scarlet Oak Drive sold for $700,000 in 2026 and 14 Scarlet Oak Drive for $620,000 the same year, a spread that tracks size and unit position.

Streets and setting

The community is laid out along Scarlet Oak Drive and River Birch Circle, with shared courts and a children's playground at its center. The looped street plan keeps through-traffic minimal and the atmosphere quiet, part of why families with young children gravitate here. An HOA of roughly $400 a month covers common-area upkeep, so exterior maintenance and the shared amenities stay off the individual owner's plate.

Schools and commute

Every home is served by Montgomery Township Public Schools, a highly regarded Somerset County system and the primary draw for buyers targeting this tier. Montgomery Walk gives families that district access at roughly half the cost of a single-family home in the same schools. The 08502 setting keeps Princeton about 15 to 20 minutes away, with Route 206 close by for commuters.

Market position

With a median around $645K and recent closings from the high $500Ks to about $700K, Montgomery Walk sits in the most attainable tier of Montgomery Township's for-sale market while still delivering the district's schools. The community turns over regularly, so buyers have a realistic chance of finding inventory rather than waiting a year for a single home to list. Because price hinges on unit position, interior versus end-of-row, and whether a plan carries a basement, working with an agent who knows how these details trade is where a Montgomery Walk sale is won.
