Can you suggest towns in Montana I might like to live in? (Whitefish: real estate, 2010)

[Tomboy]

I'm hoping to move to Montana next year (possibly late spring/early summer 2010) but I don't know what towns I would like to live in. I am a receptionist, will be 28 years old, am single and have no kids. I am from the big city but am very small town at heart. Although I've never lived in a small town, I am sincere about wanting Montana to be my home and fitting in. Although I have quite a bit to learn about living in the country, I am willing to learn and there are no worries I'll be bringing the city with me. I love the rodeo, outdoors (camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, whitewater rafting, riding horses, ATVs and snowmobiles). I am looking for a town with a mostly younger population (20s-50s/60s), in/very near the mountains, preferably less than 1,000 people but am OK with up to 3,000. I would prefer living near a lake.




Thank you, in advance, for any suggestions.

Hey you have got to quit giving away the secret! OP, please note the wink.....Look up Whitefish, where is Rickers when we need him?

I've been hiding ! My advice to the OP would be to secure work first, then figure out where to live close by. Here is a picture of a typical house in Muley Montana. There may just be an opening for a receptionist there.

camper for latte money.

If I still had enough moss in my blood from Oregon I am sure I could realtor this up to a stunning vacation getaway with a veranda with roll up shades and guest house. Note the tarp is included at no additional cost!

OP, we do have a bit of fun here, shoot us a little more info, someone will help ya. Search in northwestern Montana, good luck.

Rickers:

You must work from home. You must be busy to need another secretary

Yes I do work from home ! (BTO; " Taking care of business") All of my rentals are rented and I just spent the day at Lake Frances with my wife, my dog and my bird Peekaboo with a nice campfire. Not a cloud in the sky and lots of folks driving out on the ice to fish. Now I'm looking at another piece of real estate to pounce on. God I love this recession ! Pic below is my next opportunistic target ! The rent is only $1500. per month with a $5000 deposit, it's off the grid so you don't have any utility bills, you have to carry water from the creek and there are no neighbors in sight. I will do a rent to own contract and the land includes all of the Lolo National Forest. Just DM me and we can arrange payment to my Swiss bank account !
Just joking ya ! Good luck moving to Montana.

Philipsburg is a town in western Montana that fits your criterea, and I believe I saw an opening on the Granite County website the other day looking for someone with your skills.
