NORTHEAST BOZEMAN

This area of Bozeman is truly unique. New, modern homes intermix with older, eclectic ones in what was once Bozeman’s industrial district. Some companies are capitalizing on the industrial feel and creating builds that capture that style, like High Street Townhomes and Block 106.
