What BestPlaces Users Say about Montana
Montana is a state known for its natural beauty, wide open spaces, and small-town charm. It is also home to many national parks and outdoor recreational activities. With a population of just over 1 million people, it is a sparsely populated state that offers a slower pace of life. Many people are drawn to Montana for its rugged landscapes and peaceful way of living. However, living in this state also has its challenges, such as harsh winters and limited job opportunities in certain areas. Here is a summary of user reviews from different individuals who have shared their experiences of living in Montana on the website BestPlaces.net.
One user, MaryS, shared her experience of living in Montana for over 10 years and says, "Montana is a beautiful state with friendly people, but the winters can be tough. Be prepared for snow and cold temperatures." Similarly, another user, JohnD, mentions, "The natural beauty of Montana is unmatched, but the long winters can be a downside for some."
On the other hand, some users highlight the positive aspects of living in Montana. User SarahM states, "I have lived in Montana my entire life and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. The sense of community and connection with nature is something I cherish." Another user, TomR, shares, "Montana is a hidden gem. The people are genuine, the landscape is stunning, and the quality of life is great."
However, not all reviews are positive. User LisaK shares her experience of moving to Montana and says, "I moved to Montana for a job, but I have struggled to find a sense of community here. It can be isolating and difficult to meet new people."
In conclusion, Montana offers a unique living experience with its stunning landscapes and friendly people. However, the long winters and limited job opportunities may not be for everyone. It is important to consider both the pros and cons of living in this state before making a decision to move.

Wanting to move and have questions - 10/13/2020
Hello! I’m looking for some input regarding relocating to MT. I’m currently living in SC, but grew up in CA. I am a stay at home mom and my husband works in banking. We have a family of 4 including 2 young children.
I’m interested in moving to MT for recreational activities, access to the vast wilderness & wildlife, getting back to more a western culture/values, equestrian sports, and getting in touch with my great grandfather’s history in the state.
Currently where we live in the south in our nice socioeconomic mixed neighborhood, we’re faced with nightly shootings, drive bys, armed robberies, murders, and car break-ins. So my biggest motivation is finding a town/neighborhood to move to that is safe for my family.
Although I’m highly interested in an area that provides the ability to hike, swim, hunt, and just be outdoors. As a kid in CA I was afforded the ability to explore the canyons and deserts around me and I’m really like to get my

Friendiness - 7/25/2015
I am black, my husband is white; all I've ever wanted to do is visit the lakes and mountains of Montana. I am wondering how likely it is to be accepted there in terms of jobs (going for PA), friends, schools, etc. I know Montana has a very low population of black people, so it's not too farfetched to estimate that most won't know what to think of me. Thanks in advance, for anyone who can answer.

Relocating to Montana just not sure what town to p - 2/8/2010
My husband and I are in our 30's and have 4 children. We live in a small eastern oregon town less than 8,000 people. So there is not much to do. We do have the great outdoors however and we fish, hike, go boating, ride our horses and stay active however we can. We are simple people who enjoy the small town lifestyle. We don't mind a town that does not offer the night life and bar scene. We are friendly and outgoing but like people who are also comfy with the small town atmoshere kinda "red necky" but not like a Foxworthy. We enjoy our children and want them to have good schools and sports programs. Getting mixed signals on Kalispell but all in all we like what the town offers. We have never been there but we will do a pre-screen of the towns before we move this spring. We want more sun that clouds and we have huge winters with lots of snow now so I don't think we will

Montana is the Best Last Place - 9/26/2009
This state has got to be the greatest in the Union. Why? For me the #1 reason is the quality of life. The people in Montana are a kind and hospitable bunch. My husband and I have transferred all over the US because of his job, our last relocation being from Seattle to Montana. I hope we never ever leave this beautiful place and the warm hearted people who live

voter registration - 6/26/2008
Montana does not register voters by party. One simply registers to vote. In primary elections, voters are given ballots with all candidates from all parties. The voter then choses one party and votes for his candidates in that party. This is a result of early an early 20th century election where there was a turnout of about 107% and there was no secret
