In addition to a long-awaited spring, Helena residents can look forward to four new projects coming to Mountain View Meadows. Although no timeline has been set for the start of construction, Mountain View Meadows finalized the sale of 20 acres to St. Peter’s Health for a future Senior Living Community. Tentative plans for the Community include independent-living cottages, assisted-living apartments, nursing home and long-term memory care along with recreational amenities and rehabilitation services. Mountain View Meadows will be completing an extension of Crossroads Parkway to state highway standards later this spring to access the future building site. To help curb a serious shortage of upscale rental housing in the Helena area, Mountain View Meadows with the help of Montana Underground Construction will begin excavation for streets, water and sewer for a new nine building apartment complex to be built between S. Alice Street and Jean Baucus at the confluence of the Crossroads Commercial neighborhood and residential neighborhoods. Housing shortages have hampered hiring professional staff at places like St. Peter’s Health and other businesses in Helena as well as the City itself. The new apartments will provide a housing alternative for contracted employees and those wanting an attractive, comfortable living community within walking distance to Mountain View Park with its full-range of recreational facilities including tennis, basketball, and volleyball. Engineering for “The Peaks” neighborhood at Mountain View Meadows is currently working through the Helena city engineering approval process with street excavation starting soon. The Peaks will bring to Helena two new housing products: acre-size view lots on city services and modest solar homes designed to reduce electric consumption. From 1,000 S.F. homes with beautiful craftsman details to 5,000+ S.F. executive-style homes, Mountain View Meadows believes every buyer deserves the best housing options to meet their budget and lifestyle choices. And for those wanting the least maintenance so they can spend their valuable time enjoying all the recreational activities Montana offers, the first single-level condo buildings in Aspen View II will be ready for move-in late summer, in plenty of time to snuggle in before the next winter coming to Helena…which we hope is far, far away!
