Upcoming Affordable Housing Solutions in Bozeman

It’s no secret—Bozeman is facing a serious affordable housing crisis. With the median home price now pushing past $700,000, thousands of residents are being priced out of the market. And while it may feel like little progress is being made, there are organizations, developers, companies, and community members working hard to change that.

In this post, we highlight some of the upcoming affordable housing projects aiming to bring more attainable options to Bozeman.

Hidden Creek

Gallatin County is collaborating with United Housing Partners, LLC and HRDC to bring a new affordable housing community to Bozeman. The project, known as Hidden Creek, is currently under initial review and will be located on a 9.8-acre site just north of Durston Street and south of Juniper Street, near the Gallatin County Rest Home.

Plans for Hidden Creek include 182 rental apartments designated as Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) units, as well as a community land trust offering 8 equity-restricted rowhomes for sale. The development also includes a designated parcel for future infrastructure, which will remain under Gallatin County’s ownership.

Aspen 8

Aspen 8 is a proposed mixed-income development planned for Midtown Bozeman, located between 7th and 8th Avenue behind the U-Haul building. The project includes 289 residential units, with 40% designated as income- and rent-restricted for households earning 60% or less of the area median income. The development is expected to feature ground-level commercial space, a second-floor parking garage with 135 spaces, and five stories of residential housing above. Click here for details. 

The Guthrie

Another workforce housing project in the works near downtown Bozeman is the Guthrie, proposed for the corner of North 5th and Villard—formerly the site of the Bridger Rehab and Care Center. Plans call for a five-story building featuring 111 one-bedroom units, with half of them designated as affordable housing. Find out more here.  

Turnrow

In a collaborative effort to address Bozeman’s housing needs, the city is partnering with a developer on a new affordable housing initiative on the north side. Using $5 million in American Rescue Plan funds, the city invested in critical sewer infrastructure to support future development. In exchange, the developer is donating a 5-acre parcel near Billings Clinic, where approximately 100 affordable housing units are planned. This marks a new approach for both the city and the developer—one that leaders hope will serve as a model for future efforts to create more attainable housing in Bozeman.

Wallace Works

The Wallace Works development is a mixed-use project at 801 N Wallace in northeast Bozeman. This development will be offering several different types of housing, including row homes, live-work units, and apartments. Plans for the project include seven workforce rental units that would be designated affordable housing units for families earning up to 80% of the area's median income. The units would be deed-restricted for 50 years to ensure long-term affordability.

Completed Affordable Housing Projects

Westlake Heights

Westlake Heights Apartments are now available in Midtown Bozeman as part of a Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) community. Offering one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom floor plans, these affordable units are designed for qualifying residents who meet specific income and eligibility requirements. Eligibility guidelines and availability details can be found here. Each unit includes an all-electric kitchen, private balcony or patio, walk-in closets, and in-unit washer and dryer. As of May 2025, rental prices start at $1,333 for a one-bedroom unit and go up to $1,990 for a four-bedroom unit. Click here for details.

Bridger View Homes

The Bridger View homes are located east of Story Mill Park. There are 62 homes at Bridger View, half of which sold at current market values and half of which sold for below market rates. The 31 below-market-rate homes will be priced at levels that middle-income Bozeman residents can afford. To qualify to purchase one of the below-market-rate homes, your household income needed to be less than 120% of the area median income. Each owner of a below-market-rate home will be able to sell their home at a price that caps appreciation, ensuring that the home remains affordable from one homeowner to the next.

Cameron Crossing

Cameron Crossing is a 51-acre neighborhood located at the corner of Jackrabbit Lane and East Cameron Bridge Road, offering convenient access to both Bozeman and Belgrade.
The community features factory-built homes with two-, three-, and four-bedroom floor plans, with prices starting in the low $200,000s.

While residents do not pay traditional property taxes, they are responsible for a monthly community fee, which starts at $850 and includes lot rent—similar to other manufactured home communities. Homeowners at Cameron Crossing sign a five-year lease, and fees are subject to annual increases, per the community’s terms. Visit their website for more details.

Yellowstone Landing Workforce Housing

Located just next to the BZN Yellowstone International Airport, the Yellowstone Landing housing project at the Yellowstone Airport Plaza offers one, two, three and four bedroom floor plans that are a place for "hardworking individuals and families to call home." They have a full equipped clubhouse, a hot tub, co working space and many other amenities. A news article about this development said that more than 40% of the units had been pre-leased by employers in the area, Bozeman Health being one of them, in order to secure housing for their employees.

Arrowleaf Park

The Arrowleaf Park apartments are a newly constructed community located at 1619 Tschache Lane in Northwest Bozeman. Arrowleaf Park offers affordable rental units that are income-restricted. There are one, two, or three-bedroom apartments or townhomes available, the units are pet friendly and there are ADA-accessible units available.

This affordable housing development was brought to life by HRDC and GMD Development. Arrowleaf Park not only offers housing, but there is also an early child care center run by Family Promise on the premise that is open 7 days a week with extended hours for children whose parents work less traditional hours. Family Promise has been working on childcare scholarships for families based on need and income.

Perennial Park

Perennial Park is a sister project to the Arrowleaf Park development that provides affordable rental housing for people 55 years or older. The apartments are brand new and feature full kitchens, washers & dryers in the unit, private balconies, and energy-efficient windows. The Perennial Park apartments are income-restricted; you can see the most recent income limits here.

There is a Community Health Partners clinic facility on-site that offers affordable medical, dental, and other healthcare services to Perennial Park residents as well as the public. Residents can also enjoy community gardens, walking paths, a fitness room, and a library.

While these projects mark progress, Bozeman still has a long road ahead in addressing its affordable housing crisis. Fortunately, several local organizations—like Family Promise, HRDC, and One Valley Community Foundation—are doing important work to move the needle. If you’re passionate about housing in Bozeman and want to be part of the solution, consider supporting these groups, attending their events, or even serving on their boards. You can also make your voice heard at City Commission meetings or by participating in the Community Affordable Housing Advisory Board, which meets bi-weekly. Want to learn more?
