We have seen Montana in some pretty interesting online lists before. Like this one, and this one, oh yeah, and don't forget this one. But this might just be the best list EVER for us to be included on.

According to Liveability, Missoula and Bozeman, Montana have both been named the 'Best Place to Live' in their most recent Top 100 list. The small Montana metropolis of Missoula came in at number 8 being closely edged out by some other incredible towns like Arlington, VA (#3), Rochester MN (#2), and Madison, WI holding onto the top spot. Bozeman almost cracked the Top 10 at #11.

According to their descriptions:

Nearby mountain ranges, three rivers and more than 400 acres of city parkland make Missoula an outdoor lover's dream come true. Home to the University of Montana, Missoula's breweries, coffee houses, cafes and restaurants create a unique, cool vibe. Independent bookstores, a symphony and music venues provide more entertainment options.

 

An All-America City, Bozeman is largely a college town that houses Montana State University, home of the Bobcats, along with 15,000 students. Bozeman residents enjoy a good quality of life with recreation options such as skiing and hiking, and the economy features a growing technology sector and several research-based companies. Quality health-care facilities also serve the community.

 

Again, it's something many Montana natives already may know....but shh, let's not let everyone in on our little secret, shall we?
