Bozeman is a beautiful town, which makes it a great place to visit for a weekend! However, it does not make it a great place to live. Rent and housing costs are completely unattainable for most "regular" people. I do not love Bozeman nearly enough to live in a van or tent because I can't afford housing, which many people now have to do. There's not much charm in working three jobs to barely afford rent in a place overrun with tourists and out of state money.
I absolutely love living in Bozeman, MT! Overall, it is definitely one of the safer, cleaner cities in Montana. However, I would like to see the growth rate slow down; the cost of living is way too high because apartments and houses are in such high demand due to the influx of people moving here. The city has too many people for the amount of housing and it keeps getting worse, new complexes cannot be built fast enough.
When I first came to bozeman, you could see the mountains in pretty much any direction you looked but because of the flood of people wanting to live out their “Yellowstone” dreams, everything that was already expensive in the college town is now unaffordable and to try to cope with the growth, part of Bozeman’s green and spacious appeal is being filled with buildings tall enough to block the views. Honestly, if you didn’t already know it was a college town, bozeman is just like any other city. What I do like is how connected with the outdoors everyones is and also the kindness you can get from complete strangers.
