Just looking at the change in listing prices for real estate in Montana towns, you can start to get an idea of the towns that might see incredible growth next.
Fall is one of the best times to travel in Montana, not only because of cooler weather but also because many of Montana's most popular destinations and attractions are seeing fewer tourists.
The larger cities in Montana certainly have the qualities of typical "great" downtowns. You'll find a density of business, culture, and retail in Missoula, Bozeman, and Billings, but in Montana, I don't think that's what necessarily makes the "best" downtown.
