Brentwood

Brentwood is a small, established Bozeman neighborhood in the center of Bozeman near Emily Dickinson Elementary School. Because most of the homes in this subdivision were built in the '90s, some that come on the market need updating.

There is a small trail that winds through the neighborhood, it is close to parks and has easy access to shopping and dining on North 19th Ave. This is a very charming neighborhood with lots of mature trees, including maples that really show off in the fall.

Durston Meadows

Durston Meadows was one of the first subdivisions to pop up as Bozeman started spreading west in the late '90s. At the time you could buy one of these homes for under $100,000! How things have changed! When these homes first started selling, many were bought by people wanting investment properties and it became a popular rental area for college students. Over the years as home prices have gone up, the subdivision has shifted and now you'll find a mix of rentals and owner-occupied homes in Durston Meadows.
