The Knolls at Hillcrest

Bozeman, Montana
Connecting Lives Through Nature

Imagine stepping out of your front door into a vibrant community where lush greenways and picturesque trails invite you to explore and connect. This is the vision brought to life by Principal Lessa Millard, PLA, ASLA, in The Knolls at Hillcrest, a dynamic 55+ age community in Bozeman. Here, the thoughtfully designed parklands and open spaces serve as the threads that weave the community together, offering endless opportunities for recreation and socialization.

The heart of this community is a linear park that seamlessly connects to existing trails, offering residents countless ways to enjoy the great outdoors. Whether walking the dog, hiking, or bicycling, every adventure begins right at your front door. The pedestrian greenways that wind throughout the community ensure that every resident has direct access to this extensive trail system, making it easy to embrace an active, outdoor lifestyle.

At the center of The Knolls lies a large, serene park designed for passive recreation. This central oasis offers numerous spots to rest, socialize, and take in the breathtaking views of the Bridger Mountains. It's a place where neighbors become friends and where the natural beauty of Bozeman is always within reach.

The Knolls at Hillcrest is more than just a place to live; it’s a community that thrives on connection—both with nature and with each other. Through thoughtful design, Lessa Millard has created a space that enriches the lives of its residents, fostering a sense of belonging and well-being.
