Pike Run Woods

Pike Run Woods is the townhome enclave within Pike Run, one of Montgomery Township's larger planned communities in the Belle Mead section of town (mailing ZIP 08502). It is not age-restricted, and its appeal is the combination of low-maintenance townhome living, the shared Pike Run amenities package, and the top-ranked Montgomery Township Public Schools, at a more accessible entry point than the township's detached homes. Recent BrightMLS closings in Pike Run Woods have run from about $575,000 to $655,000. For the full Pike Run community, including its detached homes and other sections, see the Pike Run overview.

The homes

The homes in Pike Run Woods are interior and end-of-row townhomes, most built between about 1999 and 2002, typically two to three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a one-car garage, running roughly 1,340 to 2,214 square feet. The Birch, a two-to-three bedroom plan with a vaulted living room, an upper-level loft, and a one-car garage, is the recognized model here. Recent sales show the spread: 901 Rhoads Drive, a three-bedroom end unit, sold for $655,000 in 2025, and 123 Rip Van Dam Court, a larger two-bedroom, for $575,000, while a two-bedroom at 406 Rhoads Drive is currently active at $475,000. The HOA fee generally runs about $350 to $410 a month and covers the shared Pike Run amenities along with exterior maintenance on the townhomes.

Streets and setting

Pike Run Woods sits along Rhoads Drive and Rip Van Dam Court in the Belle Mead section of Montgomery Township, part of the larger Pike Run community's street network. The setting is quiet and residential, with the Route 206 corridor and the broader Somerset County road network close at hand for errands and the drive toward Princeton and Route 1. Residents share Pike Run's recreation package: an outdoor swimming pool, a clubhouse, a fitness center, tennis courts, a playground, and jogging and walking paths through the community. That built-in amenities package, unusual for a townhome enclave at this price, gives residents a social hub without needing to drive to a separate club or gym.

Schools and commute

Every home in Pike Run Woods is zoned for Montgomery Township Public Schools, one of New Jersey's top-ranked public school districts. Montgomery Lower Middle School, Montgomery Upper Middle School, and Montgomery High School each serve the entire township as single, non-zoned schools, so every student attends the same middle and high schools. Elementary school assignment is zoned by attendance area, since Montgomery runs multiple elementary schools, so buyers should confirm the specific elementary school for a given address with the district before making an offer. For commuters, Princeton is a short drive south on Route 206, and Princeton Junction station on the NJ Transit Northeast Corridor line, roughly 20 minutes away, connects to New York and Philadelphia. Route 1 is a short drive further for the corporate corridor and additional shopping.

Market position

Pike Run Woods is the more accessible, townhome-focused corner of Pike Run. With recent closings around $575,000 to $655,000 and an active listing at $475,000, it offers Montgomery's top schools and the community's shared amenities without the price of a detached home and yard. It carries its own BrightMLS subdivision tag, so it prices separately from Pike Run's detached homes and other sections, which is why a Pike Run Woods home is best compared against true like-for-like townhome sales here rather than the broader Pike Run median. Because turnover in any single section is limited, an agent who tracks the Woods specifically can price a home more precisely than the community-wide numbers suggest.
