Retirement Communities in Bozeman - Bozeman Real Estate Group
BOZEMAN REAL ESTATE BLOG

With the endless outdoor recreation opportunities, friendly community, thriving cultural scene, and a growing international airport, it’s only natural that Bozeman has become one of the best places in the nation to retire. The question is, once you get here where do you live?

First, you have to decide what type of home you want. Are you looking for a condominium where you don’t have to worry about lawn care and snow removal so you can live like a snowbird and fly south for the winters? Or do you imagine a single-family home where you can have some space, and perhaps some mountain views?

Next, you have to decide on the location. Anywhere in Bozeman is a good place to live in our opinion; however, there are some places that are a better fit for retirees. Once you have decided what type of home you are looking for you can begin the process of narrowing down the location. Keep in mind Bozeman is a college town, so there are many areas with rentals that may not offer the peace and quiet you are seeking.

Fortunately, there are plenty of other neighborhoods designed for retirees and even more, being developed as Bozeman grows.


Condos & Townhomes

The Village Downtown

These luxury homes sit in the historic downtown district with the convenience of an urban living community. Lindley Park, Peet’s Hill and the public library are basically across the street, and Bozeman’s vibrant downtown just a few blocks away. The Village Downtown development began in 2002 and is now a well-established community. All common areas are taken care of, as well as landscaping and garbage removal.

There are two options for living in The Villages - Village Homes and Village Lofts. The Village Homes have two different floor plans available, both with two-stories and over 3,000 sq.ft of space. Each of the Village Homes homes has an attached garage and a private courtyard. The Village Lofts are the smaller option and offer carefree maintenance with 1, 2 or 3 bedroom options. Each loft has high ceilings, secure lower level parking garage with reserved parking and storage space, elevators, energy-efficient double glazed windows and concierge services. If you are looking for a fantastic downtown location, established community and maintenance-free living then this could be the perfect option for you.
