New Development: Ridge Hill Subdivision

Ridge Hill is a proposed residential development on the west side of Painted Hills Road in southwest Bozeman — a 29-acre site with 20 residential lots planned. The Gallatin County Planning Board has recommended approval, and county commission consideration is underway. Unlike most neighboring subdivisions, Ridge Hill’s housing mix includes duplexes, rowhouses, and multi-family apartments — not a single-family-only development. If you’re evaluating properties near Painted Hills or Sourdough Ridge, understanding what’s planned for Ridge Hill is important context for the surrounding area.

Ridge Hill is planned to include a road extension connecting Ridge Trail Road to Painted Hills Road, improving connectivity in the area. The broader Painted Hills Road corridor offers proximity to Sourdough Trail, south Bozeman schools, and Kagy Boulevard access.

Ridge Hill will tend to appeal to buyers interested in attached or multi-family housing options in this southwest Bozeman corridor — a different profile from the single-family neighborhoods surrounding it. For buyers in Painted Hills or Sourdough Ridge, Ridge Hill is more relevant as neighborhood context than as a purchasing option.

- Ridge Hill's housing mix — duplexes, rowhouses, and multi-family apartments — is meaningfully different from the surrounding single-family neighborhoods of Painted Hills and Sourdough Ridge. Buyers in those adjacent neighborhoods should understand what's planned next door.

- A traffic impact study is being conducted to address concerns from neighboring communities. Monitor the outcome of that study and the county commission decision before drawing conclusions about the development's final form.

- No MLS listings exist yet — this page will be updated as the project progresses and listings become available.

- The proposed Ridge Trail Road extension to Painted Hills Road is part of the development plan — worth understanding for anyone who lives on or near those streets.
