What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Bozeman

My neighborhood has beautiful views and is very private. Growing up I had lots of hiking and space to play.

It had nice size yards and lots The homes are spaced far apart It is quiet You can hear the birds in the morning

Since we are more rural, we do not have major issues with lots of traffic. The road into our neighborhood is a dead end, so it is not a busy road. We enjoy walking and riding bikes on this road. In the nearest town, there are a few restaurants which are all very good. We are moments away from the bigger towns but still far enough away that we have more privacy.
