Montana City is located five miles south of Helena. This town started out as a thriving gold camp located along Great Northern railroad. The lure of the discovery of gold at Last Chance Gulch was the same that attracted miners and prospectors to settle in Montana City. As hopes for fortune declined the once bustling placer mining camp dwindled. The area became desolate until interest in the area was rekindled by its geological makeup, but this time not gold but lime rock and silica drew new residents to Montana City. Montana City began to redevelop and today is a outlying suburban community of Helena.

The close proximity to Helena, Montana’s state capitol makes Montana City a prime suburb for those who work in the larger metropolis. The median house value here is approximately $180,000.
