A largely residential neighborhood with a mountain backdrop

With a collection of well-kept homes and highly rated schools, Valley Unit is a comfortable suburban neighborhood set in western Bozeman. Access to the city’s commercial districts and major roads add convenient perks to this predominantly residential neighborhood. "The schools are right there and it has a suburban feel to it," says Jessy Gustafson, resident and broker with Bozeman Real Estate Group. The majestic Rocky Mountains can also be seen from Valley Unit, making it not only a pleasant neighborhood but a picturesque one.

Suburban homes settled on manicured lawns

Valley Unit has several condos, bungalows, Craftsmans and ranch-style houses. Homes sit behind narrow sidewalks with large swaths of manicured lawns, and they are separated by private driveways. Vaulted ceilings, distinct triangular roofs and dormer windows are common design features. "Homes are a bit newer and more contemporary, and some of them lean toward the cookie-cutter look," Gustafson says. Costs for a single-family home range between $484,000 to $940,000, and properties will typically spend 25 days on the market before selling.

Parks for walks, picnics and the pups

Parks around Valley Unit suit different outdoor moods. Valley Unit Park was formerly a patch ridden with weeds until residents in the nineties envisioned a mass improvement and paid for it themselves to make it happen. Today, its attractive landscape and paved pathways are great for leisurely strolls, moderate jogs and challenging hikes. Wildlife like deer, rabbits and various birds can be spotted here as well. Ferguson Meadows has a playground and open grassy areas for picnics, while Valley West Park includes trails, a sand volleyball pit and a fishing lake. Dog-owners can play with their pups at the swimming beach at Lewis and Bark Dog Park or the larger dog park at Gallatin County Regional Park.
