West Yellowstone Property Market and Real Estate Guide

(West Yellowstone, Montana - MT, USA)

The small town of West Yellowstone may only be home to fewer than 1,500 residents, but due to its fantastic location close to the Yellowstone National Park, it attracts a wealth of visitors throughout the year, often searching for rental homes.

The property market here is fairly quiet, mainly due to the town's relatively small size, but property investment is a sure fire way to make a return because of the areas popularity. Purchasing property with the intent to rent out to holiday makers or creating a small business, such as a bed and breakfast, will yield good return figures year on year.


There are many families based in West Yellowstone and the center of the town is where the majority of the housing can be found. There are limited rentals on offer for long-term living, but there are many short term holiday lets both in the town and in the surrounding countryside, which is particularly stunning during the snowy winters.

Renting Serviced Apartments

There are no serviced apartments for rent in West Yellowstone aside from a few holiday rentals, which are usually house rather than apartments. These are all fully furnished and are aimed at people who wish to rent for a few weeks holiday, rather than a long-term let.

Prices are expensive due to the town's great location close to the parklands and the closer to the center of the town, the higher the rental demand and cost becomes. Parking areas are usually available with rented accommodation and shops are always to be found within a short distance.

Buying Apartments and Houses

Purchasing property anywhere in the US as a non-citizen is a process that requires endless amount of paperwork. This can all be organised through a solicitor and in-depth criminal background checks, along with tax investigations, will all be carried out.

Find a reputable solicitor to handle your purchase to ensure that all the necessary paperwork is completed. Although the whole process is not too complicated, be aware that it will take time.

There are a few real estate agencies based in the West Yellowstone area and many of these handle rentals, as well as sales, due to the popularity of holiday rentals in the area. They all speak English and can be found along the main high street in the town, and often online as well.
