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.
Whether you are a skiier, fly fisher, artist, farmer, or actor, Bozeman offers a unique community for many walks of life. Bozeman has a bit of something for everyone, teeming with opportunities to get involved with the arts and the outdoors. Home to Montana State University, Bozeman has a youthful energy and an adventurous atmosphere. Downtown Main Street has a rich history and vibrant personality. In this valley surrounded by the stunning Rockies, there is little more breathtaking than watching a sunrise or hiking one of the many gorgeous wooded trails.
