Unionville blends gold-rush heritage with trailhead living just up the canyon from Helena in Lewis and Clark County. Historic miners’ cabins and thoughtfully updated homes line the quiet curves of Grizzly Gulch, where morning dog walks and evening bike rides share the road with the town’s storied past. Weekends often start at the trailhead: Mount Helena City Park’s switchbacks rise right above town, and the South Hills network, cared for with partners like the Prickly Pear Land Trust, delivers miles of singletrack, wildflowers, and lookout views.
Outdoor lovers have even bigger backyards here. The Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest spreads across the horizon for hiking, hunting, and winter excursions, while the city’s in-town open lands keep everyday adventures close. When it’s time for coffee, galleries, or a night at the theater, downtown Helena is minutes away; breweries and services in East Helena round out the scene.
Families benefit from Helena Public Schools, with neighborhood elementary options feeding into well-regarded middle schools and high schools, and lifelong learners appreciate the lectures, arts, and athletics at Carroll College. Healthcare needs are anchored by St. Peter’s Health, and the Montana Historical Society offers a deep dive into the region’s early days, including Unionville’s own boomtown chapter.
Whether you’re relocating for trails, history, or schools, Unionville offers a rare mix of quiet streets and quick access to city amenities. When you’re ready to make a move, Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with a top local real estate pro.
