n Cascade County is located in central Montana, with the county seat at Great Falls. Great Falls is a key regional city and thus the county has a stronger urban core than many rural Montana counties. The region’s history includes hydro‐electric development (notably the dams on the Missouri River), agriculture, and later light industry and services centred in Great Falls. The housing stock is diverse: homes in the city of Great Falls itself include older single-family homes (mid-20th century), modest neighbourhoods, and newer subdivisions; beyond that, the county transitions into more rural farmland or ranch‐style homes on acreage. In the city and adjacent suburbs one might find existing homes in the $250K-$400K range depending on age, condition and lot size; in rural parts of the county, larger homes or acreage parcels can go higher—perhaps $400K-$600K+, particularly for newer build on acreage. Building a new home on large land outside Great Falls might cost $300K-$500K+ depending on utilities, access and size. Cascade County sits at the intersection of urban and rural Montana: the presence of Great Falls makes it more urban/suburban than purely rural, but large parts of the county remain farmland, ranchland, and open space. For buyers looking for access to services (airport, hospitals, amenities) yet still within Montana’s wide landscapes, Cascade is a solid choice,
