Today, we will be telling you about the top 10 places to live in Montana. It is located in the USA. This place is also good for traveling.
Manhattan
As a visitor, I consider Manhattan as one of the best places to visit in Montana, much more to live in! Why? It is just a small town with more or less 1,500 residents, which means that you can relatively live in peace and yet make friends with most of the locals. They also have great scores when it comes to income as the median household income is around $52,350! Moreover, it also has a 63% crime rate which is lower than Montana as a whole.
Cut Bank
Manhattan and Cut Bank, for me, are on the same wavelength of a great place to settle in. What makes Cut Bank unique from other places on this list is the fact that it is located near a Blackfeet Indian Hence, you can have the chance to see and check out the culture of almost 20% of Native Americans living there. Cut Bank may also have the lowest cost of living in Montana, and you would surely enjoy the benefit of saving more considering that you need to spend less on food and shelter. For these reasons alone, I consider this place as one of the best places to live in Montana.
Lockwood
Another one of the best places to see in Montana that you need to check out on whether it’s living conditions are worthy to be settled into is Lockwood. This place has a population of around 6,600 people, a crime index of 62 as well as a cost of living index of 97. Hmm, having said all of these, isn’t it enough for you to consider this place? If so, then I think this reason will make you want to join the increasing residents in Lockwood: it has a 57% increase in its growth rate for the past ten years! And that only proves that many people are relocating in Lockwood as this place in Yellowstone County is considered as pretty safe plus it boasts a lot of outdoor activities that you and your family can bond over with.
Havre
I would personally choose Havre as one of the best places to visit in Montana because it is a place rich in history and culture. So okay, for those history lovers here, Havre is the site of the Nez Perce War in 1877 (the Battle of Bear Paw), and you can also check out WahkpaChu’gn, a site where you can see Native Americans ran bison off the cliff to kill them for easy hunting. This place is also one of the most convenient places to live in since that it has the shortest average commute time plus the fact that it resides the highest number of the most educated people in Montana. Not only will you have a more convenient transportation time but you will also surround yourself with more educated people. Indeed, this is one of the best places to start off your career whatever it might be.
Helena Valley South
If you are one of those who do not want the bustle at the Helena metro area, then Helena Valley South might just be the perfect place for you. This place is just outside the metro area, and you can get a lot of friendly neighbors as well as more wide open spaces that the Metro can’t provide. It has a population of only 7,860 and a low crime index at 57. The cost of living index is at 105. So okay, it might be a little more expensive living here compared to others with less than a hundred cost of living However, you can enjoy a more stress-free life here in Helena Valley South as it provides you with a more relaxed and serene ambiance.
Sidney
Sidney is a great choice for us considering that it is one of the places wherein you can see a lot of things in Montana. Take for example their production of sugar beets. Sidney is one of the top producers of sugar beets in the United States and because of it, Sidney has a good economy to boast of. There is also oil production, which is an On-again and off-again industry, in Sidney. If ever you choose to live in this side of Montana, then you can ensure that you will have a short commute time from one place to another. It also ranked third among Montana’s highest median income earner with a median household income of around $52,460.
Kalispell
This is the part of Montana that is considered as the commercial hub of the northwest. It is also a city famous for being the gateway to Montana’s Glacier National Park. If you want to live in luxury, I believe that this is the right place for you because Kalispell holds the Buffalo Hill Golf Club as well as the Glacier Park International Airport. With these two key destinations in place, going on travel as well as having a quiet downtime in the area is achievable for you. I strongly recommend Kalispell because there are a lot of places to visit in Montana while you are here such as the Hockaday Museum of Art plus a downtown district that would surely catch your interest.
Great Falls
Great Falls is called such because it took its name from five waterfalls. Great Falls is located near the Missouri River. If you are a music and sports enthusiast, then you would never regret relocating at this side of Montana since their Four Seasons Arena are a book with hundred of sports and music events every year. Surely, you will never have a downtime while you are here. But partying is not all you’ve got since they can also provide you with a good You can choose between the Great Falls College Montana State University and the University of Great Falls should you wish to get a degree on something.
Billings
The other cities I have indicated on this list have less than 100,000 residents, but Billings is different from them as it is the only city in Montana that housed more than 100,000 residents. So if you want a bigger crowd, Billings is the one for you. The economy of this city is based primarily on Bakken oil development. Aside from serving its residents, it is also a healthcare and retail hub for most people of Northern Wyoming and some portions of western North Dakota and South Dakota.
West Yellowstone
West Yellowstone is a place of serenity with a mediocre 1,271 residents. It is perhaps the smallest location listed on our list as the best places to live in the Big Sky. But hey, do not underestimate this tiny place as its size might be the very main reason as to why it is a good place to live in. Because of its minimal number of residents, it is also considered as one of the safest in Montana as well as a lesser commute time.
