Bozeman, MT

A new Bozeman healthcare complex, with a new hospital coupled to a medical campus, is slated for Bozeman's west side, with "boutique doctors," a "life stream and healing garden," and a walkable, resort to be named, Spring Creek Village Resort, with shops, more than 40 restaurants, a hotel, offices, and loft condominiums surrounding a glass square with ice-skating in the winter and movie venue in the summer.

Though no formal application has been submitted, approximately 50-acres will be developed on Huffine Lane between Cottonwood Road and Ferguson Avenue. The rezoning, from Business Park District (BP) to Urban Mixed Use District (UMU), of 31 acres within the 50-acre area that will become Spring Creek Village Resort, was approved this week by the City of Bozeman, Montana Commission.

This potential Bozeman Medical Complex project requires further review by the Bozeman City Commission.

Tenants associations are common in urban areas but practically nonexistent here in Montana, so this is a first. Susan Floerchinger who helped form this association hopes this association will let other tenants know they have rights. The tenants of her apartment complex, Darlington Manor in Bozeman, Montana, hope the association they have formed will allow them to be heard when expressing their grievances to management and owners.

Statewide some apartment complex owners live hundreds and even thousands of miles from their complexes, making communication with tenants difficult. Floerchinger hopes this new association will also serve as an example for Montana's other tenants. What do you think? Read More at the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.

American Cowboy has named Bozeman one of the top 20 places to live in the West.

Bozeman was one of two Montana cities that made the magazine's first annual list, unveiled this week in its April-May issue. Missoula, and out-of-state cities such as Bend, Ore., and Steamboat Springs, Colo., also received the honor.

Bozeman also has been named as one of the best small towns and best places to retire.

Montana State University rodeo coach Mike True said part of Bozeman's appeal might be its mix of traditional and modern western, with amenities ranging from historic Yellowstone National Park to new-aged horseback adventures.

Everybody Loves Bozeman - Special to DCD Home

Some people from Bozeman and Gallatin Valley think their hometown is pretty special, but this isn't just misty sentimentality. Experts from around the country with far-ranging reasons are in agreement.

Bizjournals ranked Bozeman number one for small town's best quality of life (www.bizjournals.com). It wasn't a casual assessment. Intrigued that more than 1.7 million people moved from metropolitan areas to small cities and rural areas, Bizjournals rated the 577 micropolitan areas in the US (grouped population centers ranging between 10,000 to 50,000 people) with strict and quantitative criteria, and Bozeman topped its 576 rivals. The criteria ranged from percentages of people with higher education, population and per capita income growth, a strong growing small business base, affordable housing, low taxes, easy commutes and the like.

Interestingly, with far different criteria, Outside Magazine rated Bozeman of one of 15 best sports cities, and number five on a 2003 list of 40 best college towns. Skiing Magazine rated Bozeman as one of the ten best ski towns in America. In 2001, Bozeman was an all-American city.
