2019 Best Places to Live in Missoula CountyAbout this List

Missoula

• Town in Montana
• 132

Current Resident: I love Missoula! It's the perfect place to live. We have all the amenities of a big city - movie theaters (an indie/community one, and a couple bigger ones), concert venues that regularly bring in big acts, tons of good local restaurants, coffee shops, etc. You're also three hours away from two major national parks - Yellowstone and Glacier. There's tons of hiking within the town itself and in the surrounding area. You can also float down the river that flows through town in the summer.

East Missoula

• Town in Montana
• 3

Current Resident: East Missoula has been a laid back part of town for me. I live on a very mellow street with little traffic. The only negative experience I have had is a couple strangers wandering in to my yard. I went up to them and kindly asked the men laying in my yard to leave and they were respectful. I wouldn't suggest living on a street where you can see the highway, it can be quite noisy at times between traffic and the train going by.

• Town in Montana

Current Resident: It's a small town, but I have lived here all my life! Housing is cheaper than in town, we don't have to pay for every drop of water we use, and you can basically walk anywhere you need to go!

Frenchtown

• Town in Montana
• 3

Current Resident: Frenchtown is both a beautiful and bizarre town to grow up in. Located in a small valley just 20 minutes from a bustling University city, you can escape the chaos that surrounds you by simply walking out your back door. We are blessed here in Frenchtown by the breathtaking mountain ranges, and the way the light plays in the sky. There is never a dull moment with the weather, and we have a saying here, "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes." The community has been struck hard with recent violence, yet we stand stronger than ever. I truly believe that everyone needs to live in a small town, like Frenchtown, for at least 6 months of their life. I've been here for a little under 16 years, and nowhere else compares to the complexity and beauty of Frenchtown.
