When we talk about Montana, you will most likely hear the words, "it's so beautiful" followed by, "it's so expensive".

In the last few years, Montana has become the ultimate escape from reality, especially for out-of-state folks. From all over the United States, people are flocking to the Last Best Place to raise their kids, start families, and some, retire.

With all of those fun dreams at the seams, some may want to take into consideration the 2023 most expensive towns in Montana before they pack up the family and head to Big Sky Country.

Here are the Top 6 Most Expensive Towns In Montana, in 2023.

1. Bozeman. Are we really shocked by this? I mean, if you are currently living here like I am, this is no shock. Finding an apartment that doesn't cost $2k (minimum) is incredibly difficult, then adding in all the other living expenses. Phew! You need to make at least $5k per month just to have a little extra spending money.

Some may ask why Big Sky isn't on this list. The reason is, Big Sky is considered an unincorporated Rocky Mountain Community. Not necessarily a "town" but often called and considered a town.
