Billings, MT Apartments for Rent

Known as the "Magic City" for its rapid growth since its founding as a railroad town in 1882, Billings offers apartments for rent amid Montana's natural beauty. As the largest city in Montana with a population of over 117,000, Billings sits in the Yellowstone Valley surrounded by seven mountain ranges, including the Rimrocks that rise 500 feet above downtown. The city's economy encompasses healthcare, energy, agriculture, and retail sectors, providing diverse employment opportunities.

Apartments for rent in Billings are available throughout several neighborhoods, from the historic South Side with South Park to the expanding West End area. The city features an extensive trail system, parks including Pioneer Park and Riverfront Park, and outdoor recreation spots. Average rents range from about $1,039 for studios to $1,879 for three-bedroom units. The downtown area hosts the Alberta Bair Theater and Yellowstone Art Museum, along with shopping destinations. Located just over 100 miles from Yellowstone National Park and near the scenic Beartooth Highway, Billings combines city living with easy access to outdoor adventures.

Why Billings?

  • Boothill Cemetery – before it was Billings, it was Coulson – a wild town where most residents died with their boots on.
  • Moss Mansion Historic House Museum – A massive home with 28 rooms, decorated with the original 1903 furniture.
  • Beartooth Highway – a gorgeous scenic drive that leads to Yellowstone Park.
  • Pompeys Pillar National Monument – Captain Clark (of Lewis and Clark) was here – his signature at the top of the Pillar says so.
  • Custer National Forest – the highest point of this rugged park is Granite Peak, the highest point in Montana.
  • Buffalo Bill Historical Center – Home to five museums, the center examines the life of Buffalo Bill Cody and the American West.
