The article discusses the author's experience living in Bozeman, Montana, highlighting its beauty and vibrant community. However, as the city grew in popularity, housing became increasingly expensive, making it difficult for the author to afford living there. The average price of a home rose to over $740,000, with rents nearing $2,400. After spending time in Missoula and seeking to return to Bozeman, the author ultimately had to find a more affordable option in a rural area 100 miles away. This trend is reflected across other Montana towns as well.
"When I moved to Bozeman in 2012, it had just under 40,000 residents. Today, it's pushing the 60,000 mark... The average value of a single-family house in Bozeman is over $740,000 and the average rent is nearly $2,400 a month."
"I first moved from Colorado to Bozeman, Montana in 2012 for a publishing job. [...] I loved being surrounded by nature and hiking and snowboarding in the mountains one day while taking advantage of convenient city perks."
