Neighborhoods

Stevensville is an old community.  Much of the downtown burned not long after the start of the 20th century.  The community is represented by the 59870 zip code and the town itself has numerous additions to the original townsite.  There was the May Addition which includes some of the most historical examples of Victorian Architecture in western Montana.

There is also the George A. Smith addition on the southwest side of town and the Lee Dayton Addition adjoining the town to the southeast.  Further to the west there are the newest additions to town in Creekside and Twin Creeks subdivisions.

The Burnt Fork has become one of the most protected open space using conservation easements on larger ranches.  The Three Mile community is anchored by Lone Rock School, the oldest continuously operating school in the state.  The historic agricultural area south of town has several new communities such as the Vistas on 5 acre irrigated parcels.  The westside properties tuck up to the wilderness.
