Characteristics

Transportation

Commuting by car is especially convenient in Grant Creek. It is a short car ride to the nearest highway, such as I-90, from any home in this part of Missoula, and coming across a parking spot is quite easy. However, the public transit infrastructure in this neighborhood is not very practical. Thankfully, there are a few bus lines crossing the neighborhood, and bus stops are not very far-removed from most houses. Many of the homes for sale in this part of the city are located in places that are not very suitable for pedestrians as meeting daily needs is occasionally difficult without the use of a car. Although a few enjoyable sectors for bicycling exist, the bike is a rather poor method of transportation in Grant Creek as the bicycling infrastructure is not very comprehensive, and cyclists are faced with a considerable amount of slopes.

Services

Property owners in this part of the city usually have to use a car to access the closest grocery store. Residents benefit from over 50 restaurants and coffee shops as well. In terms of education, there are only a very small number of primary schools in this area and consequently they can be a very long distance away. Moreover, this part of Missoula does not have any high schools.

Character

Grant Creek is a neighborhood to buy a home in for those who prefer a chill environment. As there are very few people out and about on the streets, Grant Creek remains relatively quiet, although those who are around the railway line or I-90 may experience higher levels of noise.
