Bi-levels and ranchers surrounded by East Ridge Mountains
Northern Pacific resembles a 1950s suburban neighborhood. Streets are lined with single-story homes, trees are planted neatly next to every property and lots include front lawns or side yards. The East Ridge Mountains loom in the background, overlooking ranch-style and bi-level properties. Roads are wide, and lots are usually big enough to park an RV. Ranchers and bi-level homes built between the 1960s and 1980s have attached garages or separate sheds. Prices can range from $264,000 to $415,000.

North of 60-acre Skyline Park
Skyline Park spans 60 acres just south of the neighborhood. Hikers and bikers can use nature trails overlooking the city's landscape. Dogs can run around at its fenced-in dog park, and kids can enjoy its playground and fishing pond. Whittier Park includes a baseball field, tennis court and soccer fields, and about 2 miles away is Father Sheehan Park, named after Butte native and World War II Chaplain John Sheenan. It has multiple baseball fields and is home to the Butte Little League team. Maud S. Canyon Trail is a 4-mile looped trail with a scenic route overlooking the East Ridge mountains. The Butte Country Club, about 2 miles south of Northern Pacific, was the first country club to open in Montana. Members can access its 18-hole golf course and the country club’s other amenities, like its golf simulator, outdoor pool and racquetball courts.

East Middle and Whittier Elementary within walking distance
Whittier Elementary teaches kids through the sixth grade. East Middle School teaches seventh and eighth graders. Butte High has 14 sports teams and activities. All schools earn C-plus ratings from Niche. Depending on where they live, some neighbors can walk to Whittier Elementary or East Middle.Continental Drive gateway to interstates and city
Continental Drive forms the eastern border of Northern Pacific, linking the area to the rest of the city. Drivers can head 3 miles in opposite directions to reach Uptown and the retail on Harrison Avenue. They can also reach I-15 and I-90 by traveling south on Continental Drive. I-90 travels east through the west, reaching Anaconda in 28 miles. I-15 heads north to south and provides access to Helena in 68 miles. Bert Mooney Airport offers two flights daily to Salt Lake City through Delta Airlines. Residents should be mindful that Butte is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-designated Environmental Justice Area, a byproduct of the city’s century-old mining history, which left harsh chemicals in the soil and air. The EPA is working with the city to help residents with this issue.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
