A quiet Bozeman suburb just minutes from hiking and community parks

In Bozeman’s west end, just minutes from the hundreds of acres of southern Montana farmland, Flanders Mill is a quiet, walkable suburb with 21st-century homes centered around a picturesque park and lake. Around 4 miles west of Downtown Bozeman, the area features mountain views in almost every direction, with the Bridger Mountains to the northeast and the Gallatin Range to the South. “Flanders Mill is an active community with residents spanning across all ages,” says Aaron Cribbes, a local Realtor with Engel & Volkers. “You have walkable streets and are within a few miles from tons of outdoor recreation areas, from Bridger Bowl to the Drinking Horse trails.” The neighborhood is served by highly rated public schools, and the shopping centers and restaurants of Huffine Road are just a short drive south.
