59711 Homes for Sale

The courthouse for Anaconda-Deer Lodge County, at 800 Main Street, carries the address Anaconda, MT 59711. So does Discovery Ski Area, which Visit Montana places at Georgetown Lake, 23 miles west of Anaconda. One ZIP code, two very different spots. The Census draws 59711 across about 559 square miles, which is a lot of ground for one ZIP.

Housing in the ZIP skews old. Census estimates for 2020 to 2024 count 6,035 housing units and a median year built of 1956. Of those units, 4,692 are single-family houses on their own lot, 403 are mobile homes, and about 840 sit in buildings with two or more units, from duplexes to a few larger buildings. About 9,500 people live in the ZIP.

Price context, with a caveat

The Census estimates the median value of owner-occupied homes in 59711 at $237,200 for 2020 to 2024, with a margin of error around $15,000. This is a five-year survey figure. It describes the ZIP as a whole and cannot say what a three-bedroom on a town lot, a mobile home on acreage, or a lake cabin costs today. Active listings and recent sales will do that.

A few things to ask about

Start with the house’s age. With a 1956 median, plan for a close look at the roof, heating, wiring, insulation and foundation on most showings.

If you are looking toward Georgetown Lake, the permits change. Granite County runs a Georgetown Lake Zoning District that requires a zoning compliance permit before any construction, dirt work included, and its planning page says rental units are not allowed on properties in that district. Anyone planning to rent the primary structure through VRBO or Airbnb is told to call the Tri-County Sanitarian first. For a cabin near the lake, confirm which county and zoning rules apply before counting on rental income.

About 26 percent of workers in the ZIP report a commute of 30 minutes or more. The county-wide average is a short 18.6 minutes.

59711 questions

Is 59711 only Anaconda?

No. The ZIP spreads well beyond the town, and some listings with an Anaconda 59711 address are many miles west near Georgetown Lake.

Is a 59711 home always in Deer Lodge County?

A 59711 mailing address does not settle the county. Granite County administers a Georgetown Lake Zoning District, so for any property near the lake, confirm the county for the parcel.

Which school district should I verify for a 59711 address?

Anaconda School District #10 is the district listed for Anaconda, at 1410 West Park Avenue. Verify by address.

What does the median year built tell me?

That a typical home in the ZIP went up in the 1950s. It says nothing about any one house, which is why inspections matter.
