Working individuals and families are the heartbeat of Big Sky, but each year it becomes more challenging to make a life here as housing and childcare costs climb. The average price of a single family home is well over $2 million while the wait list for long-term rentals has over 200 names on it. Child care providers struggle to offer quality and affordable care with dozens of families on wait lists. When our middle income families and essential workers can’t afford to live here, the fabric of our community frays.
