Thinking of Moving to Gallatin County? Here's Why

Located in a sweeping valley in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Gallatin County is the most populated and fastest growing county in scenic southwest Montana. The County Seat of Bozeman at large encompasses over 50,000 people, yet has a small town feel. Located in a breathtaking Rocky Mountain setting, it is close to world-class downhill skiing, blue ribbon trout streams, Yellowstone National Park and a multitude of other outdoor activities in the pristine nearby wilderness areas.


Gallatin County covers over 2,500 square miles of mountain lands varying in topography and climate from temperate river valleys to snow-capped peaks and open ranch lands. Nearly half of all the land in Gallatin County is under public ownership by the Gallatin National Forest, State of Montana, Bureau of Land Management or the National Park Service.


Gallatin County is large and diverse, featuring everything from the spectacular scenery of Yellowstone National Park (our first National Park) to lush farmland, and a growing economy of high-tech industries. Skiers, outdoor enthusiasts, wildlife watchers, mothers and fathers, business owners, vacationers, ranchers, retirees, students and many others have grown to love Gallatin County's boundless opportunities.

Bozeman - An ideal place to reside and recreate! Clean air, national forest access less than 10 miles away and moderate climate make this a perfect place for outdoor recreation. For those who like to stay a little closer to home enjoy shopping, parks, world-class museums, and arts and cultural opportunities. Residents of Bozeman receive the benefits of a wonderful standard of living with year round recreational and cultural events. Bozeman is the place to be for that small town feel with big city amenities. The perfect place to do everything or nothing at all.

Belgrade - One of the fastest growing communities in Montana for the last 10 years. Its “open arms” policy to business, as well as access to transportation and excellent school system, has attracted everything from manufacturing to bio tech businesses. It is a great place to live and do business! The perfect blend of small-town hospitality, city commerce, and outstanding outdoor recreation. From our expansive variety of service and industry, to the diversity of a thriving and growing population, Belgrade is the quintessential Montana community.

Big Sky - Some call it the last best place, and if you ask any number of the people who have relocated to Big Sky, they would most likely agree. The opportunities and scenery remain uncrowned and wide open, and Big Sky offers a place unlike any other for business, or for a place to call home. Getting out and about and enjoying the scenery is half of the reason to move here. An artful jumble of 10,000 foot peaks, world class skiing, blue ribbon trout streams and lodgepole pine ultimately define your surroundings. Couple that with a community atmosphere that is second to none, and you'll find that's all the reason you need to make Big Sky your home.
