Livingston, Montana
A river town with real character — gateway to Paradise Valley and Yellowstone
8,780 people call Livingston home. Tucked into the upper Yellowstone River valley just north of Paradise Valley, Livingston is one of Montana’s most livable small cities. It has a working downtown, a real arts scene, a surprising number of excellent restaurants, and the kind of access to the outdoors that most people only dream about. The Yellowstone River runs through town. Yellowstone National Park is 55 miles south. The mountains are everywhere you look.
Real estate here ranges from historic Victorian homes and bungalows near downtown to newer construction on the outskirts, with ranches and acreage properties spreading into the valley. Inventory has tightened considerably in recent years as more buyers discover what locals have known for decades. Data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau.
