Owenhouse Downtown Location

Owenhouse Ace Hardware Holiday Hours

A staple of the downtown area is that you’ll often find folks enjoying the outdoors, sitting out on one of the many Main Street cafe patios during the warmer months and taking advantage of indoor seating when winter weather arrives.

Downtown Bozeman blends historic redbrick storefronts and older residential pockets with newer mid-rise mixed use and multifamily homes. Alongside traditionally-constructed buildings, you find renovated duplexes and newer condos (many loft style units) within easy walking distance of Main Street.

Due to its variety, a large cross section of individuals call downtown home, such as local residents, young professionals, college students, and retirees who prefer a sense of community over having large living spaces found in other parts of the city (i.e., West Bozeman).

The allure of Downtown isn’t limited to just dining and shopping. Residents have access to cultural and civic spaces , allowing them to experience live music, visit exhibitions, participate in community events, or just hang out in a public place together.

The seasonal festivals and markets are also nearby, which makes the downtown area feel vibrant. The events and activities the city offers definitely helps residents engage with others who live in the area – creating a stronger sense of belonging for all.

The downtown lifestyle is further enhanced by accessibility to parks, bike paths, and a number of other family-oriented recreational activities. Downtown’s central location also provides easy access to Montana’s most popular recreation destinations, such as hiking in nearby Hyalite or Gallatin Canyon, spending the day on the Gallatin River, or skiing at Big Sky Resort.

Of course, along with the benefits of living near downtown come some disadvantages. In many instances, there is more traffic on the streets near downtown, there are fewer parking spaces, and older residences may need more maintenance than new homes. Nevertheless, the trade off for most people is worth it due to the benefits of living in proximity to Bozeman’s vibrant and welcoming social life.
