It takes time to build a better community but it begins with believing in better. We believe you
want more than just a house. You want a sense of place. You want to sit on your front
porch and enjoy the flowers in your yard, the landscaped boulevards
and the amazing mountain views. You want to live in a neighborhood where kids can safely walk
down sidewalks to visit friends and family and play in neighborhood parks.
You enjoy an active lifestyle and want to walk your dog and run, hike or bike on paved
trails that connect to business, shopping, schools and entertainment. You are community-minded and
appreciate energy conservation and protecting land, wildlife and water
resources.
And most of all, you value time to enjoy your home, your family and all that
Montana offers.
That’s why we believe in building a better community – because you believe in better!

Believe in Better: 2024 Milestones
As 2024 comes to a close, it is a great time to reflect on what goals were set and what was achieved in and about the Helena area. Jacob Kuntz, Executive Director of Montana Habitat for Humanity continued to lead his organization in furthering plans for a new mixed-use development in East Helena designed with housing affordability in mind. A major milestone for the project: completing the subdivision application and perhaps most exciting of all, announcing the name for the new community -- “Rose Hills.” In 2024 Prickly Pear Land Trust completed trail development and set the bridge at Prickly Pear Park with a grand opening planned for spring 2025! “PPLT also purchased Birdseye Ranch which expanded new hunting access on 1500 acres and protected key wildlife habitat in the area,” said Executive Director Mary Hollow. Mountain View Meadows developer Mark Runkle and his wife Rebecca Ryland, Director of Design, are thrilled to announce that they welcomed their 500th new homeowner to the community on December 30th. Mark and Rebecca surprised Donna Smith on her very first day in her new home on Adam Run Ave. in the Craftsman Village neighborhood with a check for $500 commemorating the event. “We wanted to do something special that reflected our joy in reaching this milestone,” said Runkle. “Rebecca and I appreciate all the builders, subcontractors, engineers and Helena city staff that helped make this happen and we look forward to working together to lay the foundation in 2025 for the next 500!”
