Gardiner, Montana
The north entrance to Yellowstone — where the park is your backyard
About 875 people live in Gardiner, making it one of Montana’s smallest towns with one of its biggest draws: the only year-round entrance to Yellowstone National Park. The Roosevelt Arch has greeted visitors since 1903, and the town has been a gateway community ever since. What that means for residents is access — to geysers, wildlife, hiking, and the Yellowstone and Gardner Rivers — unlike almost anywhere else on earth.
Real estate in Gardiner is limited by geography (mountains on three sides) and demand. Properties move quickly when they come available. Most buyers here are looking for a primary home that doubles as a basecamp for the outdoors, or a second home close to the park. Data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau.
