Many homes have been recently renovated, maintaining their historic appeal while offering modern amenities. The neighborhood is highly walkable, with tree-lined streets and sidewalks. Community events such as the annual block party and the Missoula Outdoor Cinema foster a close-knit atmosphere, bringing residents together for live music, food, and outdoor movies. Northside Park, with its playground, basketball court, and community garden, provides green space for recreation and gardening. The nearby North Hills offer hiking trails with scenic views of the city.
