Great opportunity for a starter home, investment opportunity, or fixer upper! This main level living home has 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom. There is a large living room with decorative fireplace and ample windows for lots of natural lighting. The kitchen is open to the living room. Off the kitchen is the nicely sized full bathroom. The basement houses the laundry & utilities and has plenty of storage space. Out back is a large backyard that has alley access, with a large original garage & separate storage room. The roof, hot water heater, furnace and some pex plumbing were all replaced in 2018. This property will not pass FHA, VA or USDA financing. There is currently a rental lease in effect until October 2026. The buyer is responsible for verifying all conditions of this property. Figures are +/- and all information provided is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed and should be independently verified.

Pros of Living in Glendive, MT
Low Cost of Living & Affordable Housing
Cost of living is below the U.S. average (about 5% lower) and median home values are significantly cheaper than national and many Montana averages.
Rent and housing costs tend to be affordable compared to larger cities.
Small-Town, Tight-Knit Community
Glendive offers a strong community feel where neighbors often know each other and newcomers can integrate easily.
Community events, local clubs, and college activities help foster social ties.
Good for Outdoor Enthusiasts
Surrounded by nature, including the Yellowstone River and nearby Makoshika State Park (Montana’s largest state park), which is great for hiking, camping, fishing, and exploring fossil sites.
Short Commutes & Ease of Getting Around
Very little traffic and short average commute times (much below the national average).
Low Unemployment and Basic Economic Stability
Unemployment rates are often reported lower than national averages, indicating local employment is reasonable relative to many rural areas.
Safety and Low Crime in Many Areas
Many local reports show relatively low crime levels and basic safety when compared to larger urban areas.
Cons of Living in Glendive, MT
Small Population & Limited Economy
Glendive is very small (around ~5,000 people) and has seen population decline in recent years.
Limited job diversity and career opportunities in specialized fields; many jobs are tied to agriculture, local services, or the oil economy.
Fewer Amenities and Cultural Options
As a small rural town, Glendive has limited shopping, entertainment, and dining options compared to metropolitan areas.
Many amenities are not within walking distance, and public transportation options are minimal.
Healthcare Access Can Be Limited
Healthcare services in rural Montana towns like Glendive are often limited in specialist care, requiring travel to larger cities for some treatments.
Harsh Winters & Weather
Eastern Montana winters can be long, cold, and severe — common across rural Montana.
Lower Average Incomes
Median household incomes tend to be below national averages, which may affect disposable income and local spending.
Less Diversity & Isolation
The population is less diverse than many urban areas, and Glendive’s remote location means long distance to larger cities, international airports, or some services.
