Developer breaks ground on new neighborhood in east Montgomery
A new residential community is coming to Montgomery early next year.
The new community, called Hawthorne, will be located off of Atlanta Highway, adjacent to the Arrowhead neighborhood.
Hawthorne's first phase of construction will feature 250 wooded home sites across 50-, 60-, and 70-foot lots. Homes will range from 1,500 to 2,800 square feet and feature floor plans by the 'nationally recognized' BSB Design.
The neighborhood will also have a walking trail and, in the future, high-end townhomes. The plan is to eventually expand the neighborhood to about 400 homes total.
The aim of the neighborhood is to create a high-quality, 'timeless living' feel, said a spokesperson for Alabama-based Lowder New Homes, which is self-described as Alabama's leading new home builder with a reputation for 'attention to detail.'
Lowder New Homes was founded in 1956 — with this year marking their 70th year in business.
The company has built communities across central Alabama, including Auburn, Opelika, Prattville, Lake Martin, Pike Road and five other neighborhoods in Montgomery.
Construction on the first homes is set to start in late 2025, with construction projected to wrap around March 2026.
