Best Neighborhoods for Vacation Rentals Missoula, MT
Missoula has a total of seventeen neighborhoods. Franklin to the Fort has the largest population, and the highest livability score belongs to Lower Rattlesnake. Before we dive deep into the best Airbnb Missoula, Montana vacation rentals, I thought it would be helpful to give you a rundown on the areas.
- Rattlesnake: The neighborhood is located on the west side of Mount Jumbo. Aside from the intimidating name, it’s one of the most peaceful places to live. An excellent place for mountain biking, hiking, equestrian riding, fly-fishing, and wildlife watching. These are only a handful of things to do here.
- Farview and Pattee Canyon: Homes are a mix of styles here, from hillside ranch land to modern condos. The steep terrain neighborhood (being nestled on a hillside) welcomes a challenge for mountain bikers and hikers. The University, downtown and other parts of the city are also accessible from here.
- East Missoula: Through the Hellgate Canyon and eastern side of Mount Jumbo, lies an open valley, giving way to the Clark Fork River. It’s a three-mile bike ride to the University of Montana, and a short driving distance to the center. This neighborhood shares tranquil views and a friendly community in Missoula.
- Heart of Missoula (Center): This vibrant, booming area is thriving with activities, civic involvement, and culture. It’s a bustling center, including grand historic homes, affordable apartments, modern condos, and modest bungalows.
- Target Range: A rural neighborhood, where large ranch properties and farms are nestled, giving you a real sense of country living. There are also new commercial businesses here, a sense of rural living with the city nearby.
- South 39th Street: – Right at your fingertips, you’re minutes away from local grocery stores, restaurants, malls, and a movie theater. You’ll find Missoula’s golf courses, ice-skating rinks, hockey, soccer fields, and more.
- Rose Park: A pedestrian and bike-friendly neighborhood, mostly consisting of young families and long-time residents.
- University District: As the name suggests, it’s located in the area of the University of Montana. Festivities happen in fall and tailgating for the Grizzlies home football games happen on Saturdays. Throughout the year, cultural events, historical exhibits, and other major entertainments happen here.
- Emma Dickinson Orchard Homes (River Road): As the name suggests, this area provides a plethora of orchard farms. The Clark Fork River runs along the north side, where commercial businesses, farms, and homes are located. Downtown, the University, and Missoula’s Southgate Mall are within a short distance.

Guest Review: “As the photos suggest, this place is spectacular. The second bedroom isn’t as cramped as might be assumed by the photos. One of the tallest buildings in Missoula, so obviously one of the best views. We never met Jeb as we did a remote check-in (our preference), but his communication was almost instantaneous whenever we needed anything.
