Easy access to all of Missoula
With a central location just minutes from downtown, Missoula's Westside makes it easy for homeowners to enjoy all the city's attractions. "I live in Westside. I like it because it's close to a bunch of breweries and walking distance to downtown," says local Realtor Julia Capron with Keller Williams Western Montana. "There's a climbing gym and a school nearby. It's a good central spot." Westside is primarily residential, although the further west the neighborhood goes, the more commercial it becomes, with office parks and big-box stores on the western edge. City blocks of established and newer homes are interspersed with the occasional restaurant or shop, making life in Westside an exciting mix of activity.
