Troy is the county seat of Montgomery County, offering a friendly pace with quick access to outdoor adventure and regional amenities. Its location between Asheboro, Albemarle, and Southern Pines puts commuters close to major employers and gives residents easy options for dining, shopping, and entertainment while keeping a close-knit feel at home.
Outdoors lovers gravitate to the nearby Uwharrie National Forest for hiking the Uwharrie National Recreation Trail, paddling or fishing on Badin Lake, and exploring scenic backroads and off-highway vehicle areas. Family day trips are a breeze, from animal encounters at the North Carolina Zoo to hands-on glassblowing and ceramics experiences at STARworks, a regional arts hub just up the road.
Education anchors the community. Montgomery Community College is known statewide for unique programs in forestry, gunsmithing, taxidermy, and more, while Montgomery County Schools serves local students with expanding career pathways and modern facilities, including Montgomery Central High School. Healthcare needs are met close to home at FirstHealth Montgomery Memorial Hospital, with specialty care and larger medical centers accessible in neighboring cities.
Whether you’re drawn by trailheads and lake days, a tight-knit school community, or the convenience of regional connections, Troy delivers a straightforward, comfortable way of life. When you’re ready to move, Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with top local real estate professionals to help make the most of every opportunity.
