A mountain town outside Helena
Clancy is a small rural town about 10 miles from Helena where everybody knows everybody. “I started walking to the center of town [from my house] and it took me a half hour to walk there because I know everybody and kept running into people,” says Laurie Koutnik a Broker/owner with Capital City Realty and Clancy resident. Surrounded by mountain ranges and peaks, nature is a neighbor in Clancy too, and hiking, hunting, and enjoying the outdoors are mainstays for residents. “Sometimes it's very relaxing to see the beauty of the mountains and do nothing,” says Koutnik.
Clancy is nestled into pine covered mountains just outside of Helena Montana.
Newer developments can be found in Clancy.

Nature is Clancy's backyard
Clancy is closest to nature, and that’s a big draw for people in town. “People who want to have more of a mountain lifestyle live out here,” says Koutnik. Clancy residents can walk up into the Mount Helena or Elkhorn Mountain ranges, or hop on the Interstate and go to nearby parks, lakes and nature preserves. Park Lake is accessible via local roads, and popular for fishing, hunting and boating. People will drive several hours to visit their favorite outdoor spots, sometimes taking a week off work to hunt, camp and fish at the Bob Marshall Wilderness, about 200 miles away. “The guys will camp out and take their horses along to ride into the wilderness and go hunting,” says Koutnik. The Missouri River, about 25 miles away, is also popular for hiking, hunting and fishing.
Open pastures with grazing cows and expansive space define the scenic beauty around Clancy.

Mountain subdivisions
Even though most homes are located in Clancy's town center off Interstate 15, nature is still all around. “We had a moose walk down all the way the mountain and go to the creek,” says Koutnik. “And he was pretty comfortable with people and dogs.” Properties in Clancy tend to sell for between $500,000 and $1 million, and most plots are on at least an acre of land. Some multi-acre properties that are a few miles away from the town center go for $2.5 through 5 million. Houses are a mix of older ranch homes and bungalows, newer colonial-style, contemporary ranch homes, and multi-million dollar mansions in the hills.
Every home in Clancy’s mountain setting offers a distinctive, unique character.
East Helena’s rolling hills and pine forests offer breathtaking views just minutes from Clancy.

Clancy Elementary School District
Students start at Clancy Elementary School, which has a B-plus rating on Niche and serves Kindergarten through grade 8. Helena High School has a B rating and a variety of after-school activities for students to enjoy like outdoors, art and ukulele clubs. Clancy’s school kids are also very active, especially when it comes to running. “The kids use the walking paths through the subdivision to get ready for track meets,” says Koutnik.
Getting around Clancy
Interstate 15 runs right through the center of town, so hopping on the road and going to Helena, Yellowstone or the Bob Marshall Wilderness area is simple. “Driving isn’t a big deal here,” says Koutnik. “We grow up doing it." The nearest airport is Helena Regional Airport, and St. Peter’s Health is the nearest hospital. Both are about 15 miles away.
Interstate 15 is Clancy’s main thoroughfare, connecting the town to Helena and beyond.
The road entering Clancy’s town center welcomes you with picturesque mountain views.

Clancy Days every summer
Clancy Days is the biggest event in town. Held annually in June, the neighborhood hosts car shows, vendors, food trucks and a parade.
Burgers at Chubby's, more at Last Chance Gulch
In Clancy, Chubby’s is the go-to for a steak or burger and offers live music in an outdoor pavilion. But for grocery stores and more places to eat, most head into Helena or Montana City, both about 10 miles away down Interstate 15. The Montana City Store offers groceries, while in Helena, the Last Chance Gulch is the place to eat. The restaurants and shops are set up inside historic buildings that were built along a gulch where gold was first discovered in 1864. Firetower Coffee is popular for an early morning coffee or an afternoon lunch, and Windbag Saloon serves burgers and microbrews out of a historic 1882 Italiante building.
