Bridging the gap from suburban to rural in western Missoula
On the western edge of Missoula, Captain John Mullan—known simply as Mullan to locals—boasts a mix of city conveniences and Montana country living. “Mullan has a variety of positive criteria when searching for a home. Let’s start with the fact that you are a five-minute drive from town,” says Brittni Hertz, a sales associate with the Hertz Team at ERA Lambros and Captain John Mullan resident. “So, it’s really quick, but you can feel like you’re in the country. However, you don’t have to take a country drive to get back to town. It does give you that true Montana feel.” Reserve Street on the eastern edge allows residents to easily access popular chain restaurants and national retailers. As Mullan Road winds westward through the countryside, suburban homes give way to properties with lots of acreage and ranches raising goats and other livestock. Hertz says there might be a bit of culture shock for people moving from out of town who aren’t familiar with farm terminology. “There was a sign when I was driving past the ranch that said, ‘Kids for Sale’ and I thought ‘That’s not going to go over well with the non-locals.’ The HOA must have gotten after them and changed it, so you have to say baby goats for sale.” Hertz says.
Suburban homes to farmhouse estates
Homebuyers can find a wide range of options in Captain John Mullan. The neighborhood’s east side is home to suburban communities near the city, offering a convenient lifestyle close to neighbors. These homes are often new traditional houses of contemporary Craftsmans with spacious built-in garages. They sit on streets lined with sidewalks and well-cared-for lawns. These suburban homes usually cost between $500,000 and $750,000. Further west, buyers will find ranch-style and modern farmhouses on larger lots. Many of these properties back up against open land, allowing residents to enjoy views of the Rattlesnake Mountains to the north and local wildlife in the neighborhood. “You see an abundance of wildlife out there, from elk to coyotes to foxes and the occasional moose. There are tons of birds, specifically osprey, the golden eagle and the bald eagle,” Hertz says. “I’ve seen a wolverine back there and honey badgers. The elks and deer are as common as dogs.” Homes in the neighborhood’s more rural parts can cost between $800,000 and $1.4 million.
A highly rated school district dedicated to the neighborhood
Students in Captain John Mullan might attend Hellgate Elementary School, a kindergarten through grade 8 school on Flynn Lane that is separate from Missoula County Public Schools. The school is rated a B-plus by Niche and operates as its own district, serving approximately 1,500 students. It traces its history back to 1869 when it opened as a one-room schoolhouse to serve local farm children. Today, the school sits on 43 acres and has multiple buildings. High schoolers might attend Big Sky High School, which is rated a C and is part of the Missoula County school district. Big Sky offers several academies to prepare students for college or careers, including agriculture, architecture, business and health programs.
A quick drive into town
Mullan Road provides residents with an easy drive into Missoula for everyday essentials. Popular shopping and dining destinations on Reserve Street are about 2 miles from the center of the neighborhood. The drive to Missoula Montana Airport is about 4.5 miles from the neighborhood’s center using Flynn Lane and Broadway Street. Despite the airport’s location just north of the community, Hertz says plane noise doesn’t bother locals. The closest hospital is Providence St. Patrick Hospital, about 4 miles east along Mullan Road and Broadway Street. One bus route from the Mountain Line bus system offers public transit through the area. The Route 11 bus passes through some of the subdivisions on the neighborhood’s eastern edge and heads northwest to the airport. There is a walking trail along much of Mullan Road, but the distance between popular destinations means that most residents will drive to wherever they’re going.
Local shops and restaurants minutes away in Missoula
Reserve Street is home to many shopping and dining destinations. Residents can dine on Mexican dishes like tacos and burritos at Café Rio Fresh Modern Mexican, a casual chain restaurant in the area. Famous Daves Bar-B-Que is popular for its burnt ends and mac and cheese in a rustic, mountain lodge-themed dining area. Ranch Club Golf Course members can enjoy a meal at the club’s restaurant. Groceries are available at Walmart or Albertsons along Reserve Street. Other popular chain stores in the area include Target, Best Buy, Costco and REI.
Neighborhood parks and scenic golf courses
A few parks in the area offer room for residents to enjoy the scenery of the Montana countryside. Pleasant View Park is in the Pleasant View subdivision and has a playground, picnic tables and large open space for soccer or other outdoor games. The 44 Ranch subdivision has a small park with a playground, jogging trail and sports fields. Golf lovers can join the Ranch Club Golf Course, which is popular for its views of the mountains and its course that is ideal for beginners and experienced golfers. The par-72 course also has a resort-style swimming pool, a fitness facility and an event space.
