Helena is walkable as long as you live in town. The valley is quite extensive, and alot of people who work and shop in Helena live outside of town. Prices on housing in the valley is a bit less expensive than in Helena, but do not think it is cheap at all. Helena can be a rather pricey city to live in.

On the flip side of that, Helena is also a wonderful place to be in. Great Falls does not even compare to Helena in overall tranquility. Climatically, Great Falls is very windy in the winter (chinook wind zone), but nice in the summer. Helena, while cold, does not have the winds Great Falls has in the winter. Thus, it makes the dry air and sunshine make it feel alot warmer than it really is. Summers in Helena are absoultely extrodinary. Light winds, temps generally in the 70's and 80's in the daytime, comfortable nights (upper 40's and 50's), make Helena ideal. Helena also has alot of scenery that you just won't find in Great Falls.

If it weren't for the high cost of living in Helena, I would be strongly considering moving back. Its a wonderful place to live, and I think you will really enjoy yourself there.
