WHERE YOU’LL LIVE, WORK AND PLAY :

Missoula, MT where the Clark-Fork river really does run though this vibrant city. Set at the convergence of five mountain ranges, earning Missoula the name of the "hub of five valleys.

Missoula is surrounded by 60,000 acres of wilderness and is an outdoor paradise, with national forests, ski areas, incredible hikes, and bicycling, raging rivers with excellent blue-ribbon trout fishing.

Missoula has repeatedly earned its ranking as a top 100 Best Places to live and was recently recognized as one of the healthiest places in the US with the highest life expectancy compared to any other city in Montana.

If you seek a life that isn't consumed by your work or your commute, where living is about community, exploring the same trails as Lewis and Clark as well as knew adventures and a place where fur babies are considered part of the Missoulian community than this is the place for you ! After Billings, Missoula is the second-largest city and metropolitan area in Montana and is home to the University of Montana, a public research university.

Where else can walk outside and jump on a mountain trailhead or drive two to three hours and arrive at the gates of both Glacier and Yellowstone National Park! The economy is growing, culture and arts are thriving calling filmmakers such as Paramount’s Yellowstone to call on Missoula for some of the most beautiful scenic movie and TV show backgrounds.

Truly the last best place!
