What it’s like
The place. Huson is a very small community in Missoula County, home to far fewer people than the towns around it. Winters are cold and snowy, with December the coldest month, and summers turn properly warm by July. Typical home values here sit well above what the county's incomes would suggest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in professional and business services, restaurants and hotels, and shops. Across Missoula County, the largest workplaces include The University of Montana, ST Patrick Hospital and Missoula Elem Schools. The typical commute is a fairly long one, a little longer than a short hop across town.
Things to do. Lolo National Forest and Frenchtown Pond State Park are both protected areas a short drive away, good for walking, fishing and time outdoors. A longer drive brings you to Lake Missoula and to Montana Snowbowl, a ski area that suits the snowy winters. For a day in the city, the Missoula Art Museum is a longer drive away.
