Montgomery County sits about 50 miles west of Indianapolis along the I-74 corridor, anchored by Crawfordsville — a historic small city of around 16,000 residents and the home of Wabash College, one of the country's last remaining all-male liberal arts colleges. With a county population of roughly 38,000, Montgomery County combines a strong sense of small-town character with the educational and cultural depth that comes from being a long-established college town. Homes here are notably more affordable than in the Indianapolis metro, while still within reasonable driving distance for commuters and weekend visitors. The county's countryside is dotted with farmland, covered bridges, and the dramatic limestone canyons of Shades and Turkey Run State Parks just to the west. Your Realty Link's team is happy to help buyers and sellers throughout Montgomery County.

Montgomery County Real Estate Market
The Montgomery County real estate market is one of the more affordable in the broader Indianapolis region. Homes typically range from the $150s for established single-family homes, starter properties, and historic homes in Crawfordsville's older neighborhoods to the $300s for larger or newer homes and properties with acreage. Crawfordsville offers a particularly attractive mix of housing — historic homes near downtown and the Wabash College campus, mid-century neighborhoods, and newer subdivisions on the edges of town. Rural parts of the county add farmland, country homes, and properties with land. For first-time buyers, retirees, and value-focused families willing to commute or work remotely, Montgomery County delivers genuine character at accessible prices.
Why Buy a Home in Montgomery County?
Montgomery County's appeal is rooted in character and value. Crawfordsville's historic downtown — full of restored 19th-century buildings, locally owned restaurants and shops, the Lew Wallace Study, and the Carnegie Museum — gives the city a depth and walkability rare for a community its size. Wabash College brings a steady cultural calendar of lectures, concerts, and athletics. Sugar Creek and the nearby state parks (Shades and Turkey Run, just over the county line) offer some of the best hiking and canoeing in the state. School districts in the county include Crawfordsville Community Schools, North Montgomery Community Schools, and South Montgomery Community Schools — each anchored in their own community. For buyers who want a college-town feel, real history, and a much lower cost of living than the Indianapolis metro, Montgomery County is well worth exploring.
