My wife and I love living in Billings! It's one of the few cities in Montana where "regular" people may still be able to afford a home, which we were able to do. We have quite a selection of stores and restaurants close to our neighborhood, and even more throughout the city. There's more to do here than in most cities in MT, though if you're coming from a big city, you'll probably miss some amenities. I came from a very small town in MT, so Billings is quite a change for me. There are ample outdoor recreation opportunities in town and even more close to town.
We have always felt safe in our neighborhood and in most places around town. Like most cities in America, Billings does have drugs and crime. Unfortunately, that's really not something you can get away from even in Montana. Again though, if you're coming from a big city, Billings is pretty tame.
We were able to find great careers here and look forward to our next few years in Billings!

I like that Billings is a small city, you get the amenities of a big city like stores and restaurants but still have that town feel. I would like to see Billings adapt to its growing size better. We have seen so much growth and I feel that the city is struggling to adapt. I like how it is diverse and full of new but its small enough that you can see your friends out and about. I love how close we are to nature and wildlife. We are surrounded by the great outdoors which allows us to participate in fun activities, while still being near town!
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.
