It is pretty and has a lot of outdoor recreation nearby- but the vibe is very chaotic. There is a HUGE meth problem and a LOT of crime. Most people driving don’t pay attention, lots of close call accidents and fender benders. Hopefully things get better when Recreational Cannabis is initiated, reduce the hard drug use. The living cost is super high for the type of housing/ neighborhoods available. If moving here LOOK OUT FOR SCAM LISTINGS! If you like to keep to yourself it’s an okay place to live.
There are beautiful places to walk in the Heights by high cliffs and pine. There is Lake Elmo (dog friendly) and Swords Park where you can hike along the rims. However, in the middle of these beautiful places, they have an oil refinery (like a black eye) when walking the rims, obstructs Yellow Stone River as well as polluting it I'm certain! The air quality is awful some mornings, due to the airport that was built right on top of the rims! The noise from the Rocky Mountain Aviation School and military planes robs the place of its natural peace and tranquility. They took a beautiful, natural environment and ruined it with constant bombardment of air traffic noise, pollution from airplanes taxing on runway (near homes) and Swords Park, and of course there is the oil refinery and traffic. Lots of traffic! Simply put, the roads must have been built way before the people arrived. Too many cars, not enough lanes, creates back up traffic for miles. Makes a commute much longer! I give it a B-
Billings is a great city located in Montana. Billings is still rural enough to give you the love of outdoors and mountains, but large enough to give you the nightlife of music and fun if that's your "thing".
When you dig deeper into a relationship with Billings, the schools are strong. From a personal perspective, a teacher in the high school my son attends shows passion about the growth of my son's studies to the point of being there for his struggles through the holidays when others were taking time off. That's dedication!
The weather itself in Montana is something to get used to, with nice temperatures in the Summer months, but pretty frigid during the Winter. However, don't fret it too much, your body acclimates to the changes and once that happens you'll be enjoying the frigid waters of the Yellowstone River with the rest of them.
Overall Billings is a pretty awesome place to live and/or visit.
