Choosing where you live isn’t just about the house you call your own, but the community you’re a part of, too. For parents, that means considering any potential school district. Currently, the Belgrade School District is made up of five schools and has its sight set on growth. Recently awarded a 48 million dollar bond through a majority vote, the Belgrade school district is looking to expand to accommodate its growing number of students and their needs.

It’s well-known in Bozeman, that if you’re looking for entertainment, you head for downtown. At its heart sits Main Street, an old-school, shotgun road that stretches the length of downtown, lined with some of Bozeman’s most interesting attractions. Day or night, downtown is buzzing with locals who are out and about. While the sun is up, you can shop the latest trends at sleek boutiques like Posh or Evergreen and refuel with a coffee from artisan cafés like Rockford or Treeline.

When night rolls around, choose your dinner spot from farm-to-table eateries like Blackbird, or classic joints like Burger Bob’s. And when it comes to nightlife, there’s no shortage of options or style. Whether you’re looking to sip handmade cocktails in moody light of a speakeasy, or swing dance at a local dive, there’s no shortage of options in the buzzing downtown of Bozeman.

Belgrade’s community is a quaint, tight-knit one. It’s residents come together year-round to gather as friends and neighbors at a variety of events put on by the town.

One of the most vibrant parts of living in Bozeman is the university that is tucked right outside of downtown. Founded in 1893 as an agricultural college, Montana State University has grown from its first eight students to nearly 17,000 and is an integral part of the Bozeman community. While there are many aspects of the university that evokes the town’s pride, it’s football that has people bleeding blue and gold. You can find fans cheering the season-opening Catwalk parade, bundled around heaters at a snowy tailgate, or cheering their hearts out from the stadium. To find out more about the university and the wonderful things its students are up to, you can visit their website below.
