Butte, Montana, is finally getting the recognition it deserves (though it's definitely no stranger to well-deserved praise in the past).

According to famous publication Travel and Leisure, Butte is one of the best places to live in Montana, and we couldn’t agree more. With its rich mining history, close-knit community, and scenic beauty, Butte stands out as a unique gem in the Treasure State. The publication highlighted the town’s affordable housing, historic architecture, and abundance of outdoor activities, which make it an appealing choice for new residents.

Alongside Butte, Travel and Leisure also included several other Montana towns in its top picks. These include the controversial but undoubtedly beautiful town of Bozeman, the artsy haven of Missoula, the serene and picturesque Whitefish, the Western charm of Dillon, and the family-friendly Helena. Each town has its own unique appeal, but Butte holds its ground with a mix of affordability and character that other places can't quite match.

If you’re looking for a place that offers a sense of history, a welcoming community, and the beauty of the mountains right outside your door, Butte should definitely be on your radar—and if you're already living here, you certainly understand why.

Whether you're exploring the historic Uptown district or hiking nearby trails, Butte has something for everyone—and it’s great to see that national publications are catching on.
