Review of Kalispell, Montana


Conservative, beautiful, and home
Star Rating - 1/19/2011
Kalispell has been a great community to move to. Frankly, I read some of the reviews here and smile. No, there is no clubbing. No, it's not diverse. Yes, it's conservative. And that's what in my eyes makes it perfect. It's been a wonderful place to raise a family. The people have been friendly, the hunting is awesome, the hiking, the fishing, snowshoeing....

I only hope this place doesn't continue to grow too excessively, to diversify. Frankly, I've come from that sort of place. Inevitably, the crime is astronomical, the people aren't nearly as friendly, the traffic is burdensome, everyone's looking for a handout, the schools are crap and drugs run rampant. You don't have any of that here. I'll take homogenously functional any day.

As for competing for wages, I'm a physican, so frankly, there's a shortage of us, so it hasn't been bad in healthcare.

Bp: I know that I am commenting on this thread five years after your original post. I understand that I am unlikely to get a reply, but I have to try. My wife and I are actually looking to move to Montana and Kalispell looks absolutely incredible. I am a law student at Liberty University (which is very conservative) and comments like this have placed Kalispell on our radar. My wife and I come from a small town in East Tennessee called Knoxville and quite frankly Kalispell sounds a lot like home with more room to breath. All this being said, it is a tough legal market and I am not sure if the market is already flooded there. If you could give me some insight that would be wonderful.
