Rose Park Missoula Homes for Sale

Rose Park sits between South Sixth Street West and South Avenue, and between South Higgins Avenue and Russell Street. The City of Missoula runs it as one of its neighborhood councils, and it has about 2,600 housing units.

The city’s neighborhood profile counts single-family houses at 69 percent of the housing stock, multi-dwelling buildings at 23.7 percent, duplexes at 4 percent, condos at 3 percent, and under 1 percent mobile homes. The profile’s chart of building ages shows the bulk of the neighborhood built between the 1930s and the 1950s, with the biggest group in 1941 to 1950. Newer construction since 2000 is a small slice. In practical terms, that means most showings come down to the usual questions for homes of that era: the roof, the wiring and plumbing, the heating system and the foundation.

Parks and getting around

The profile lists Anderson Park, Sacajawea Park, the Rose Park playground, Sunset Memorial Park, Southside Lions Park, the Ivy Street Community Garden and the Bitterroot Trail among the neighborhood’s assets. The profile counts 9.7 acres of open space, and about 17 percent of the area is under tree canopy.

Walkability numbers from the same profile give some detail about what kind of daily routine works here.

The neighborhood has 44 miles of existing sidewalk and 5.2 miles where sidewalk is missing, so check the specific block.
