Best Neighborhoods in Bozeman, Montana

Downtown is where younger and older people both live if they want to walk to restaurants, boutiques and events. Plenty of new high-rises have gone up, more than some locals like, and the historic homes are there if you can afford them. Northeast Bozeman, a former industrial area of modest homes, has changed more than anywhere else in town, with remodels and loft-style condos that attract young professionals and families.

The south side has always pulled in families because it sits between downtown and the mountains, with older neighborhoods near Montana State and newer subdivisions, about 10 minutes from Hyalite Canyon. West Bozeman is growing fast, with new subdivisions near schools and parks, and Four Corners, farther west, has larger homes on big lots and an easy commute to Big Sky and Belgrade.

Downtown

Young Professionals

Downtown Bozeman is where both young and older live if they crave being able to walk to restaurants, shopping in the local boutiques and enjoying community events in their own backyard. Plenty of new high-rises have gone up (too many for some locals taste) that are housing young professionals and some empty nesters looking for a more active lifestyle. The area also has historic homes if you have the “cheddar” to pay for them. And some of the most beautiful parks and earliest and reputable elementary schools are here for families who also crave the experience.

South Bozeman

Families

The south side of Bozeman has always pulled in plenty of families. This location means you’re between downtown and the mountains so that is a popular location for those craving the outdoors and the commercial experiences. The area has both older family-centered neighborhoods with big historic homes, as well as brand new subdivisions that younger families embrace for the reasonably priced homes and new amenities.
