About Baxter Meadows

Baxter Meadows is one of Bozeman's most popular neighborhoods, located in the northwest part of the city off Baxter Lane. The subdivision offers a balanced mix of condominiums, townhomes, and single-family residences on well-sized lots — making it accessible to first-time buyers and move-up buyers alike.

The neighborhood borders Chief Joseph Middle School and is adjacent to the 100-Acre Gallatin County Regional Park. A dedicated 10-acre community park with playgrounds, plus an extensive trail system and open green spaces, give the area a connected, outdoorsy feel without leaving the city.

Homes range from classic two-story designs to newer builds with modern floor plans. Baxter Meadows West, a newer section, features more contemporary architecture. The convenient location off Baxter Lane puts 19th Avenue retail, Oak Street dining, and downtown Bozeman all within 10 minutes.
