Bozeman

Home of Montana State University, the Museum of the Rockies, and a fast-growing population of 30,753 people, Bozeman is also the jumping-off point for the kind of outdoor experiences most people can only dream about. Yellowstone National Park is about 50 miles away, and the Big Sky and Bridger Bowl ski areas are even closer. Hiking, snowshoeing, and fishing are also favorite activities near Bozeman. The Gallatin National Forest is both north and south of Bozeman, and the Yellowstone River brings trout within easy casting distance. With all that skiing in winter and hiking and paddle sports in summer, it's a good thing for Chico Hot Springs in the nearby town of Pray -- where Bozemanites can take a day off from outdoor sports to rest their aching muscles and enjoy the mineral hot springs.

The average home price in Bozeman is $236,446. The population of the central part of Bozeman has grown 23% since 1990, according to the most recent census; the population of the newer, more suburban area of Bozeman has grown 85% since 1990. 21% of central Bozeman dwellers walk or bike to work, or work at home.
