Convenient access to amenities and recreation in Billings Heights

Billings Heights has a blend of established neighborhoods and outdoor recreation, and the convenience of an active business corridor, between miles of rolling pastures and the scenic Yellowstone River. "Locally known as the ‘Heights,’ The community sits just a couple of miles north of downtown Billings with quiet residential streets and easy access to the medical corridor, airport, downtown and growing access to the West End,” says Billie Haynie, a local Realtor with Engel & Völkers.

A growing market and spacious lots

While many of the area’s homes were built between the 1960s and 1980s, newer, 21st-century developments are common, with new construction in the works on the outskirts of the community. Heights is home to established bi-levels, Colonial Revivals and ranch-style homes, along with brand new modern traditional, craftsman and single-story builds. The median property size is around 10,000 square feet, with some lots reaching a half acre or more. "In the Heights, you get more bang for your buck and larger lot sizes compared to other popular neighborhoods like the West End,” Haynie says. Single family houses range from $210,000 to $450,000. Manufactured homes go from $50,000 to $140,000, while condos and townhouses sell for $250,000 to $360,000.

Walking trails and waterside recreation at Lake Elmo

Most residents live within a mile of the nearest park or recreational area, as walking trails and athletic facilities never far from reach. "The 64-acre Lake Elmo State Park is a great place to swim, boat, sailboard, fish, picnic, bird watch or stroll on the 1.4-mile hiking/nature trail," says Haynie. "It's such a great spot to unwind and enjoy the outdoors right in town." Two Moon Park features wooded trails and picnic tables along the Yellowstone River. The nearby Castle Rock Park has a playground, open field space and facilities for tennis and soccer. For a walk with scenic views of downtown Billings, Swords Park has over 4 miles of trails ideal for hikers and bikers alike.

Main Street businesses and nearby supermarkets

Main Street runs through the center of Billings Heights and is lined with dozens of well-known chains and locally owned businesses. Tippy Cow Cafe is a popular spot for breakfast and lunch, with oversized portions from breakfast scrambles to bacon burgers. Montana Jacks is a combination restaurant and casino, with classic pub food and country comforts like chicken-fried steak and ribeye. Nearby, Blues BBQ serves slow-smoked meats with all the fixings from potato salad to baked beans. The neighborhood is also home to Target, Albertsons and Walmart.

Extracurriculars and dual enrollment at Skyview High

The Billings Heights area is served by six elementary schools, including Beartooth Elementary, which earns a C-plus grade from Niche. Also with a C-plus, Medicine Crow Middle School has a variety of elective offerings, including performative choir, 3D art and digital literacy. The B-minus-rated Skyview High School offers an array of extracurriculars, from basketball and cross country to debate team and dance. The school partners with Montana State University Billings for its dual enrollment classes.

Airport access and a scenic route to Yellowstone

From major cities to national parks, Billings Heights has easy access to major thoroughfares that provide direct routes to nearby destinations. Interstate 90 can take drivers around 150 miles west to Bozeman, while U.S. Route 212 leads roughly 67 miles to Red Lodge and the Beartooth Highway, a scenic route to Yellowstone National Park’s northeast entrance. On the south side of Heights, Billings Logan International Airport offers commercial flights on six passenger airlines with a small selection of direct daily flights.
