Chestnut Neighborhood Overview
Overview
Chestnut is a quiet, established residential neighborhood located in northeast Bozeman, Montana. It is situated just north of the Montana State University campus and is bounded roughly by Kagy Boulevard to the south and Story Mill Road to the east. The area is known for its mature trees, modest single-family homes, and a strong sense of community.
Character & Lifestyle
The neighborhood offers a peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere with a mix of long-time residents, university faculty, and young professionals. Its streets are lined with large cottonwood and, of course, chestnut trees, providing a classic, shaded suburban feel. The pace here is relaxed, with a focus on community and outdoor living.
Housing
Housing in Chestnut primarily consists of well-maintained ranch-style homes, bungalows, and split-level houses built from the 1960s through the 1980s, many on spacious lots. In recent years, there has been some infill development with newer, modern homes and duplexes. The area represents a more affordable entry point into Bozeman's competitive housing market compared to newer west-side subdivisions.
Getting Around

The neighborhood is also very bikeable, with the Story Mill Community Park providing a key trail connection to the Main Street to the Mountains pathway system. Public bus service via the Streamline bus system has stops along Kagy Boulevard.
Dining & Shopping
Residents enjoy proximity to the popular "Bozeman Beach" area on Kagy, home to restaurants like Feed Cafe and Revelry. The nearby Story Mill district offers the popular Treeline Coffee Roasters and the Co-op Market. For more extensive shopping, the Gallatin Valley Mall and big-box retailers are just a short drive north on 19th Avenue.
Parks & Recreation
The crown jewel is the 60-acre Story Mill Community Park, featuring extensive trails, a dog park, community gardens, and a large playground. The neighborhood is also a short walk from the MSU campus, its recreation facilities, and the Gallagator linear park. For outdoor enthusiasts, Peets Hill/Burke Park and the trails along Bridger Canyon Drive are easily accessible.
