Learn more about renting in Billings, MT

Montana is one of the least populated states in the US, but its most populous city is Billings, with over 117,000 residents as of 2020. This beautiful place has a fascinating history. It began as a railroad town over 100 years ago, and from there quickly grew and earned the nickname "Magic City." It's the distribution and trade center for most of the state and portions of Wyoming and North and South Dakota. The city is also a major retail destination for residents in surrounding areas.

One of Billings' eastern suburbs, Lockwood, grew by over 50 percent between 2000 and 2010. Its growth and economy have contributed to the financial strength and stability of the area. One of the main economic factors in the city is oil, especially since workers discovered a considerable source of it several years ago. Popular attractions to explore include Yellowstone Art Museum, ZooMontana, and Chief Plenty Coups State Park. The Beartooth Highway connects the city with Yellowstone National Park, which is only 100 miles away.

National financial companies and businesses have established themselves in Billings. Three institutions of higher learning are within the city, including Montana State University Billings, Yellowstone Baptist, and Rocky Mountain College. Many of the city's residents work in health care, while other major employers include the First Interstate BancSystem, Party America, and Waggoners Trucking.

With its proximity to outdoor recreational opportunities and its low-key vibe, Billings is a unique city in Montana.
