About Bozeman, Montana

Find your home under the grandeur of the 'big sky' in Bozeman, Montana; named one of Time Magazine's "World's Greatest Places 2023". The 'new west' lifestyle craved by those pursuing outdoor recreation, crisp mountain air, four distinct seasons and short commutes, is certainly reflected in Bozeman's total population reaching an all-time high of 57,500. Gallatin County's population has also risen to 127,800.

The outdoor paradise sits in a valley at the foot of six mountain ranges and is just 90 minutes from Yellowstone National Park. In the summer, residents and tourists alike enjoy biking, hiking, rafting, golfing and fly fishing. In the winter, the glistening snow-capped mountain scenery transforms Bozeman into a Hallmark Christmas movie setting. There's world-class skiing at Big Sky Resort less than an hour away, and Bridger Bowl Ski Area less than 30 minutes away.

The vibrant college/ tech town is considered the epicenter for arts and culture in Montana; with a live music scene, summer festivals in the historic streets of downtown, museums, symphonies and opera.

Much of Bozeman's culture and diversity can be attributed to being home to the largest university in the state, Montana State University. MSU's fall 2023 enrollment was 16,900 students, an all-time high in its 130-year history. University graduates, along with industry-experienced newcomers provide a brain pool for the area's mix of growing businesses. For the fifth year in a row, Policom ranks Bozeman number one for the strongest micropolitan economy in the U.S.

Bozeman's highly-acclaimed public-school system has over 7,000 students enrolled. Bozeman High School has been ranked on Newsweek's "Top Schools" list five times, and an additional high school, Gallatin High, opened in 2020.
