Montana… the last best place to live and work!
The cool thing about the U.S. is that you can work and live anywhere you want! Red Lodge, Montana is one of those last best places in the U.S. where you can work where you play! Red Lodge is a small town but you go to the “big city” in under an hour if you are looking for something that a small town cannot supply. Billings is the largest city in Montana – which is still small compared to most cities, but it has everything you might need, including a great little airport! Direct flights to Salt Lake City, Denver, Las Vegas, Seattle, Minneapolis and Phoenix!
Red Lodge is a “walking” kind of town… many people live in town and its a short walk to the movies, restaurants, bars, casinos and shopping. You can live in town right on Rock Creek or out of town a few miles for that country feel. We love living in the City even though the Creek attracts black bears, lots of deer, turkeys and the occasional moose! Red Lodge Mountain is about 15 minutes away if you just want to ski in the morning and work in the afternoon. Red Lodge Golf Course is just two minutes from downtown for those who enjoy hitting a little white ball around. We sit at the base of the Beartooth Mountains and one of the most scenic passes in the world! Yellowstone National Park is about 65 miles away — a great day trip!
My husband and I moved to Red Lodge full time about 4 years ago from northern California and haven’t regretted it one day! Everyone thought we wouldn’t like the weather, but in the last four years we have only had one day when the snow was out of control… and the long time locals thought it was crazy too! Most people stayed home until the streets were cleared and enjoyed the beauty of snow covered trees. I have gotten pretty good with a snow shovel and tell myself that I’ve had my exercise for the day!
I sell real estate (or try!) and Craig drives a plow truck in the winter and has a string of hot tubs he cares for. I saw some of the blogs about who is the BEST real estate agent in Red Lodge and I couldn’t honestly say who is best… it’s easy to identify who was the worst though! With this downturn in the real estate market I expect to see some of my fellow realtors look for other ways to support themselves, so the numbers will probably go down. When I looked for a firm to join I joined Montana Realty Company of Red Lodge because it isn’t a big chain that believes the more agents you have the better; and I wanted to work for someone who was ethical and cared about their buyers and their sellers. I found that in Myrna Wright. She is very professional, ethical and really knows her stuff! We have a wonderful office (the best office in Red Lodge!) and are open seven days a week! Red Lodge is primarily a tourist town so we think it is important to be available and in the office 7 days a week! We are also very internet/computer savvy!
If you have any questions about Red Lodge or real estate… write and I’ll answer!
