Missoula Lifestyle

Missoula Montana is beautifully situated along the Clark Fork River and surrounded by Mt. Sentinel, Mt. Jumbo, the Blue Mountains and the Rattlesnake Wilderness Area. This setting allows endless opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast.

Missoula is known as the “cultural hub of Montana”. Downtown Missoula is an eclectic mix of historic architecture, coffee houses, art galleries, boutique shops, bakeries, bookstores and museums. Many of the historic downtown buildings have been painstakingly renovated, bringing back to life the historical architecture of the late 1800’s.

Founded in 1893, the University of Montana became Montana’s first university. U of M is a magnet for highly qualified and energetic scholars and researchers, attracting a vast array of students which has created cultural diversity.

Missoula is also fortunate to have two of the highest rated health care centers in the United States. St. Patrick Hospital’s International Heart Institute has been rated top 100 in the nation for cardiac care. Across town, Community Hospital offers a state of the art birthing center as well as pediatric surgery and a 24/7 level III trauma center. Both hospitals offer a Careflight emergency transport program.

A few of the annual local events in Missoula include: the Saturday Farmers Market, Wednesday’s Out to Lunch, First Friday Gallery Night, Saturday Arts and Crafts Market, Clark Fork River Market, Western Montana Fair, First Night Missoula New Year Celebration.

Located on the quiet side of town, living at The Ranch Club puts you in close proximity to everything Missoula has to offer.
