livingston montana real estate: Small Homes with BIG Appeal
- 08/25/09 04:30 AM
As we constantly monitor and follow trends in the real estate industry, an interesting movement is emerging. There has been increased consideration given to smaller homes nationwide for a number of reasons. Not to say that "bigger is better" is a thing of the past. But for many, consideration is being given to the simple concept that "smaller is preferred". First, there are the Baby Boomers who are finding that their empty nest may be larger than what they now want or need in terms of space and upkeep. Many homeowners of this generation are in the position to move to new locations they have … (4 comments)

- 02/19/09 10:21 AM
Purchasing a home can become a hassle - between financing, paperwork and trying to find the right place. But for Livingston resident Dale Townsend, it has been a dream - a dream come true. Townsend recently moved out of his rental home of 18 years and into his own house he bought in town. He has more space for storing his bicycles, his six felines have more room to play, and instead of rental payments, Townsend now makes monthly mortgage payments. Buying a home is unique experience for Townsend because of a developmental disability that he has. He has been a … (0 comments)

livingston montana real estate: Bozeman to Vegas made simple by Allegiant Air
- 10/20/08 04:57 AM
Busy Allegiant Air began another route to Las Vegas (LAS) this week. Now the good folks of Bozeman (BZN), Montana can fly to Nevada twice weekly on Thursday and Sunday.

Apart from Allegiant's new service, there are connections to major hubs in Denver and Chicago (provided by United), Minneapolis/St. Paul (provided by Northwest), Salt Lake City (operated by Delta) and Seattle (provided by Alaska Airlines).

Of the 2,362 (give or take a dozen) Ye Olde Wild West towns I drove through today getting from Bozeman to the Black Hills, Livingston, Montana was the clear winner. Figures it was the first stop, just a half hour or so east of bustling Bozeman. Livingston is the right mix of new and old. Bozeman feels mostly new these days, being so busy and Cali-rado and all. Billings is too big and too ugly. Sheridan, Wyoming is great, but too western. (How much western wear do we actually need?) There … (0 comments)
livingston montana real estate: Livingston, Montana - Another Top 10 Ranking
- 10/15/08 06:24 AM
People seem to love Top 10 lists. It is considered the "ultimate rating" compliment when your state or town receives some well-deserved recognition. There are so many reasons why Montana has been deemed "The Last Best Place" (a household term to most of us in Montana since the release of an anthology by the same name in the late 1980's), and recently our nearest neighbor to the east has received kudos by being included in yet another Top 10 list. Livingston received the #6 ranking in a guide titled "101 Best Outdoor Towns: Unspoiled Places to Visit, Live & Play" released … (1 comments)

Seems like Montana's always on 'The' lists... and we're pretty happy about that!

Other Montana cities on the Dream Town list are Helena and Kalispell. Now it's Livingston, Montana's turn... they are on the chart for "America's 10 Coolest Small Towns" according to Budget Travel Magazines. A portion of … (0 comments)
