Shopping local

Enjoying the variety of local businesses

I absolutely love the local shops that are owned by residents within Helena. It feels good to know you’re shopping or receiving services from friendly people that lives within your community.

Size of the city

Good growth in Helena

The growth that’s happening right here in Helena is impressive. It’s amazing to see how much the city has grown in the 10 years that I have lived here, which has led to more opportunities in our quality of living. Helena is a small city with a big heart. The trust and support of the communities that come together when help is needed is unmatched.

Great amenities

Ease of access to anything you need

The ease of amenities such as restaurants, gas stations and grocery stores that are located right within our community is a great part of living in Helena. It’s like everything I need is within five minutes of the house.

The outdoors

Finding a local trail or park

In Helena, we have such easy access to walking trails and parks that are safe and pet friendly. No matter what part of Helena you live in, a trail or park is nearby, which is great for families or those just wanting to get outside.

Education

Our local schools are a plus

The schools in Helena are conveniently located within the community and there’s bus transportation for students. Our schools are some of the best in the state, which is an attractive quality for most looking for a good city to call home.
