Pike Road is home of Alabama's first combat pilot-training airfield.
Just outside the city of Montgomery, a new community is emerging. Pike Road, Alabama is reinventing the American hometown by blending timeless traditions with modern conveniences. Share iced tea with neighbors on the front porch or share photos of local events through the town square's Wi-Fi--welcome to Southern hospitality 2.0.
Pike Road is an up-and-coming area in high demand and on the fast track to keep up with that demand. Beginning in the 19th century as a small municipality on the outskirts of Alabama's capital city, the Town of Pike Road incorporated in 1997 to provide a refreshing alternative to random suburban sprawl. The town's planning commission has embraced and enforced "smart growth"--an effort to create communities equally desirable to residents and businesses while preserving green spaces and improving area walkability--a rarity in most rural settings. The recent construction boom in Pike Road gives it that new town smell. See more
