This week Neighborhood of the Week heads back west and way down Northshore Drive to a little lakeside neighborhood with some awfully big homes: Montgomery Cove.

Nestled in the “v” formed by Northshore Drive and Choto Road, Montgomery Cove is a waterfront community that backs up to Turkey Creek.

Residents who don’t live in one of the neighborhood’s lakefront homes can still enjoy the water at Waterside Park, a four acre community area complete with a Stephen Fuller designed clubhouse, a lakeside dock with fishing pier, a 25 meter swimming pool, a gazebo, a playground, and basketball, vollyball and tennis courts.

In addition to its lakefront amenities, Montgomery cove also features sidewalks and streetlamps throughout the neighborhood.

Homes in Montgomery Cove are large and tradtional - some might even say grand - and many have large porches and columned entrances.

Even though Montgomery Cove is way out on the far southwest stretch of Northshore Drive, it is still easily accessible via Kingston Pike and I-40 to the north or I-140 to the east.

So if you’re looking for an upscale and idyllic lakefront community in the upper price range and don’t mind adding a few extra minutes to your daily commute in order to get it, Montgomery Cove might just be your cup of tea.

Special thanks to AAKT’s resident photographer, Robert Stockdale, for the great shots of Montgomery Cove. If you would like to learn more about Robert’s work, please visit his website.
