Best towns to live/retire in Montana?

[Addicting]

Broadus, the gas station has a whole shelf dedicated to healthcare. Mule deer doe hunting right out your back door. Not to far from the crow reservation where most government services are free. Great place…

Darby and hang out with the Yellowstoners.

Anywhere on the Hi Line. Best place to avoid the pilgrams.

U.P. Of Michigan.

Some jokes aren’t funny.

Ismay is no joke. As we travelled through there last year, I told my wife, "Let's move here and get away from the insane growth of the Gallatin Valley!" Unfortunately she won't stray that far from the grandkids.

And one of the few remaining areas to meet a real Montanan.

Surprised no one’s mentioned Opheim yet. It checks all those boxes.

I always thought if I had that choice to make I would look into Whitehall or Twin Bridges. Pretty close to Butte and Bozeman for medical and shopping. Good access to the interstate and outdoor recreation. Small friendly towns.

I can still taste the smell of my Havre relatives water. Only place I ever ate where I asked for milk instead of water with a meal

But to be a contributer...if Lawnboy starts a brewery in Winnet with decent food they will come.

Don’t give away the honey holes.

Well this isn't going as I had hoped. lol. I'd have better luck asking Greenhorn for coordinates to a big bull.

He will just send you a link. Do not open it. It’s not coordinates.

Lots of W there. Cross it off.

Lewistown. It's pretty much located in the middle of Montana. Hunting (Big Game and Bird), fishing, camping, mountains, prairie all around. Billings is about two hours to the south and Great Falls is about two hours to the west. Small city with a small town feel to it.

Too windy

Some pretty good answers. Some funny and some true. Can't believe no one has said Frenchtown (unless I missed it).

French toast? Yup, one of my favorite breakfast items.

Lewistown.

Nailed it. Awesome community with multiple mountain ranges within your required distance. Just left there do to being moved for work but it’s been my favorite place in MT so far. Born and raised here and lived in 8 different towns. Central location gives you easy access to the prairie in the east side and mountains in central/west. Good luck!

Except during hunting seasons...pilgrims with county 7 license plates all over.

BINGO! Look no further....

Looks like Lewistown it is.
