Top Neighborhoods in Great Falls, MT for Every Lifestyle
Introduction
Thinking about moving to Great Falls, MT? One of the first questions I hear is, “What are the best neighborhoods?” The answer depends on what matters most to you space, views, history, or convenience. As a local Realtor who has helped over 155 families buy and sell homes here, I’ve rounded up five of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Great Falls to give you a feel for each one.
Fox Farm
Fox Farm is one of Great Falls’ most desirable neighborhoods, known for its larger homes and spacious lots. Many properties are located near the Missouri River or Meadowlark Country Club, offering beautiful surroundings and recreation close by. The area is also zoned for Meadowlark Elementary, giving families convenient access to nearby schools. For more details on school ratings and boundaries, buyers can visit GreatSchools.org or the Great Falls Public Schools website.
Skyline
Located on the northeast side of Great Falls, Skyline offers a mix of newer homes and established properties. Many homes in this area feature open layouts, attached garages, and modern updates. Certain spots in Skyline also provide sweeping views of the city, making it a popular choice for buyers who want both convenience and scenery.
Mountain View (Christianson Addition)
On the east end of Great Falls, locals know the Christianson Addition as “Mountain View,” thanks to Mountain View Elementary and the backdrop of the eastern bluffs. This neighborhood is appreciated for its wide streets, established homes, and strong sense of community. With schools and parks nearby, it’s a popular spot for buyers who want convenience without losing that neighborhood feel.
Riverview
Riverview is all about neighborhood charm. With close-knit streets, schools within walking distance, and several nearby parks, it’s a go-to area for families and first-time buyers. You’ll find a mix of well-kept older homes and affordable entry points into the market, all in a community-minded setting.
Downtown Historic District
If you love character and being close to the heart of the city, the Downtown Historic District delivers. Craftsman, brick, and mid-century homes line these established streets. Living downtown means you’ll be steps away from coffee shops, restaurants, the Missouri River trails, and Great Falls’ growing arts and culture scene.
Conclusion
Great Falls truly offers something for everyone. From the wide streets of Mountain View to the river views in Fox Farm, the city outlooks in Skyline, the community feel of Riverview, and the history downtown. If you’d like help deciding which neighborhood fits your lifestyle best, let’s connect. I’d love to show you around and help you find your place here in Great Falls.
