Missoula, MT Apartments for Rent

Nestled at the convergence of five mountain ranges, Missoula offers apartments for rent in a scenic mountain setting known for outdoor recreation and community spirit. Located along the Clark Fork River in western Montana, this mountain town serves as the hub of the Missoula Valley, framed by Mount Sentinel and Mount Jumbo. Apartment options range throughout the city's walkable neighborhoods, from historic downtown properties to residential communities near the University of Montana campus.

With an average rent of $1,304 for a one-bedroom apartment, Missoula presents a cost-effective alternative to larger Western cities. The city's trail system spans over 22 miles, connecting neighborhoods to downtown, parks, and natural areas like Rattlesnake Creek and the Clark Fork Riverfront. Residents have access to outdoor activities including fly fishing, hiking in nearby wilderness areas, and skiing at Montana Snowbowl, located 12 miles from downtown. The downtown district comes alive with regular events at Caras Park, seasonal farmers markets, and monthly First Friday art walks, combining Montana's natural landscape with a welcoming community atmosphere.
