Life between the golf course and the fairgrounds
Not only is Helena’s North West neighborhood close to events at the fairgrounds, shopping and dining, but it’s also a convenient place to live for golfers with the Bill Roberts Golf Course right next door. With easy access to some of the best community and cultural aspects Helena has to offer, North West is a good place to settle and become a Montanan. “People are friendly, people talk to you and life slows down,” says Blake Mendenhall, a broker with Bahny Realty and life-long Montana resident. “You enjoy things more.”

Rodeo, monster trucks and live music
The Lewis and Clark Fairgrounds, next to the neighborhood, is Helena's hub for events, especially rodeo. The Last Chance Stampede & Fair shakes the ground every July and transforms the fairgrounds into a festival of horses, antique cars and cowboys. Throughout the year, the fairgrounds host gun shows, monster truck rallies and concerts. In Last Chance Gulch, the Alive at Five concert series livens up the area from June to August. A variety of local bands and musicians perform at Women’s Park and the Lewis & Clark Tap Room on Wednesday evenings.
Shopping to the south and east
North West is about two miles from major shopping retailers and downtown Helena. In a series of shopping centers to the east, Target, Costco and Ross make shopping trips convenient. To the south, Last Chance Gulch, Helena’s premiere dining district where Helena prospectors first discovered gold in 1864, provides dining, entertainment and nightlife. People sit down to eat at restaurants like Benny’s Bistro and Gold Bar, and shop at Great Divide Cyclery and Cobblestone Clothing. For a night out, Cinemark Helena and the Grandstreet Theater provide entertainment and culture to the city. There are bars and breweries as well, like Brothers Tapworks and Blackfoot River Brewing Company, making nightlife a part of the experience in Last Chance Gulch.

Neighborhood parks and the Missouri River 18 miles away
Recreation is found inside the neighborhood, with Ryan Park, Jaycee Park and Northwest Park, but Montanans are accustomed to driving regularly to get into nature. Golfers can pack up their clubs, grab a friend to play caddy and head to The Bill Roberts Golf Course, located next North West. Mount Helena, a popular place for hiking and mountain biking, is about two miles away. “The trail system around Helena is insane,” says Mendenhall, “you have all these recreational opportunities within 20 to 30 minutes of the city.” The Missouri River is about 17 miles away, or a 25-minute drive. It’s known as one of the best places to fish in Montana. Hauser Lake, located along the Missouri River, is a popular recreation area for people in Helena. “Most of the locals boat on Hauser Lake,” says Mendenhall.
