The state of Montana, also known as The Treasure State, has a population of 1.069 million people based on estimates from 2019. While some of the most beautiful scenery to be found in the country is located in Montana, there’s so much more to this state than that. From jobs to sports to literature, there are a number of reasons that moving to Montana is a great choice.
Let’s start by talking about Montana’s natural beauty. Montana is a land that many people visit each year and for good reason: it is stunningly beautiful. Believe it or not, Montana has consistently ranked as one of the most beautiful places to live in the United States on a number of online top 10 lists. From the mountains to the grassy plains, there is an abundance of natural beauty to appreciate no matter where you move in the state of Montana. As an added bonus, moving to Montana means that you’ll have several of the nation’s most famous national parks right in your own backyard! Some of the most beautiful natural treasures to visit in Montana include the Beartooth Mountains, the Lewis and Clark Caverns, the Missouri River, and the Badlands of Makoshika State Park.
Another great reason to consider moving to Montana is found in the fact that the property taxes are low. If you’re hoping to buy a home, you’ll be pleased to find out that property taxes in the state of Montana are well below the national average. According to WalletHub, in fact, Montana is ranked 20th out of the 50 states. Montana’s current effective real estate tax is just .85 percent compared to the national average of 1.19 percent according to SmartAsset. This makes being a homeowner in Montana possible for almost anyone!
If you’re an outdoor lover, you should know that Montana is filled with plenty of outdoor activities for you to enjoy. Believe it or not, that is one of the primary reasons that so many people decide to move to Montana: there are an endless amount of things to do in the great outdoors. From fly fishing and camping to hiking and mountain biking, there’s no shortage of outdoor activities for you in Montana and there’s certainly no shortage of beautiful spaces to enjoy them in.
Finally, another great reason to move to Montana is the fact that there are plenty of jobs. If you want to move to a place with a robust economy and a healthy job market, there are few better places to go than Montana. According to the Montana state website, “Montana has the 8th fastest GDP growth among states over both the last five years and ten years (ending in 2013).” As an added bonus, the state’s income per capita outpaces the national average. The strongest industries to be found in Montana include agriculture, mining, timber, and tourism with Montana recently becoming a hub for high-tech companies and business entrepreneurs.
Popular Towns to Visit in Montana
Now that you know more about the state of Montana as a whole, it’s time to look at some of the most popular towns to visit and live in the state. For the purpose of this article, we’ll be taking a look at what is considered to be the most popular town in Montana: Billings. Known to many people as a really big small town, many people move to Billings after growing up in the surrounding small towns. With a population of 109,550, Billings is a place with something for everyone.
One of the biggest reasons that Billings makes such a great place to live is the sheer amount of things to do. Billings has a thriving art scene and so much culture. From the theaters and galleries to the museums and historical sites, there is so much to enjoy in Billings. In the way of entertainment, Billings is home to plenty of independent movie theaters where you can catch a show nearly any night of the week. There are also weekly improv comedy and touring comedians that come to town at least once a month.
In the way of dining, Billing is home to a thriving culinary scene where the dining options are constantly evolving. Several new fresh and locally-sourced eateries have been added in the past few years. If you’re looking for fun for the kids, Billings is home to both indoor and outdoor water parks, plenty of local sports leagues that they can be involved in, a skate park, ice skating, roller skating, and more.
Some of the most popular neighborhoods in Billings include Cameron Park, North Park, West End, Southwest Corridor, Rimrock, and North Elevation. Each of these neighborhoods have something unique to offer those living in Billings and make for great places to live.
Long Distance Moving Tips
Now that you know more about what life is like in Montana, it is likely that you will have a much easier time deciding whether or not the state is the right place for you. If you are moving to Montana, you may find a few long distance moving tips from our interstate movers helpful. One of the best recommendations we can make is to create an inventory list when preparing for your move. An inventory list will give you a better idea of how much your move to Montana will cost you as an inventory list makes it easier for your chosen moving company to give you a reliable quote on their services. Secondly, an inventory list makes it easier for you to keep track of all of your household items during the packing and moving process.
Another long distance moving tip that we can provide is to purchase moving insurance. Whether you have a lot of valuable items or not, it is important that you have an idea of what your moving insurance does and doesn’t cover. Sit down with your agent before moving and see what your home and auto insurance covers as far as moving to Montana goes. Having moving insurance can save you a lot of money in the long run when it comes to a long distance move.

Ky & his crew were amazing. Punctual, careful, friendly, and they had moving down to a science. They made sure to take care of all my furniture, wrap everything that I had not wrapped yet myself, and even double wrap everything that I had already attempted myself. 10/10 and will use again!!!

Highly recommend Poseidon for moving and storage, especially as a college student. Both admin and the moving teams were friendly and professional. All my items were returned in perfect condition and the moves themselves were very quickly executed despite not having an elevator and the weather being very hot..
