The western and southern side of our valley features areas that are a heavy mix of rural properties peppered with some developments as well as streets featuring rows of homes that sit on 1 to 5 acres.  The Big Flat area is largely still ranch and open space with some very large homes and higher-end subdivisions as well.  Missoula's growth in this direction has slowed a bit over the course of the recession but as our valley continues to run out of space watch for Target Range to continue to struggle with maintaining their rural identity while growth returns to their area.   First off is 2010, just 54 total sales with a median sales price of $277,500.  The average time on market for these sales came back at 122 days on market.  The median listing price for the same properties was at $299,... 01/05/2012

Homes in the the Target Range / Orchard Homes  Neighborhood are very popular due to the larger lot sizes, the country feel to the neighborhood and the great location!
