Gogo's take on Teasleys Mill
“Go with care. Teasleys Mill is a quiet, predominantly residential enclave in South Montgomery with comparatively lower violent crime rates than the city core, though standard precautions against property crime are advisable. Visitors staying in the area or visiting family will find a peaceful suburban atmosphere, but there is very little dedicated commercial or tourist infrastructure.”
Citywide initiatives in Montgomery have focused on increased policing patrols along major South Montgomery arterial connectors to curb opportunistic property theft and speeding.
