Vibrant Community and Montana Living

Pioneer Landing is an 69.5 acre neighborhood connecting Columbus homes, businesses, and people through walkable sidewalks, parks, and wide, parkable alleyways. Woven into the fabric of Columbus's north side off Centennial Road and flanked to the west by preserved green space and a natural, meandering, tree-lined creek, Pioneer Landing is designed for folks seeking to make a living, build a life, and let their roots grow deep. Front porches bring a sense of relaxed, neighborly cheer to each home and street, and striking views of the surrounding landscape and skyline draw the eye and the heart. This is a place where neighbor knows neighbor, where children have the freedom to explore and play on foot or bike, and where the natural rhythms and simple pace of Montana provide time and opportunity for appreciating what matters most.
The neighborhood's south end is home to peaceful, thoughtfully-designed multifamily townhomes, created with mountain modern style rich in traditional western character. Near Centennial road, commercial shops will offer residents the convenience of local amenities. Toward Pioneer's center and north, low and medium-density single-family residential homes offer spacious, comfortable living. The 145 total residences will home families, young professionals, retirees, locals, and commuters to Billings and the Stillwater mine — an intergenerational community with the shared values of safe living, vibrant community, and the Montana way of life.
Each lot is generously spaced — a design and development philosophy that honors restraint over excess, embodying the wide-open vistas and sense of possibility that makes the land so special.
Throughout the neighborhood, interconnected trail systems and pedestrian-friendly sidewalks wind between homes, parks, playgrounds, courts for tennis and basketball, and open areas. Riparian areas offer habitat for the area's resident and migratory fauna while also creating spaces for two-legged locals to enjoy the outdoors.
The highly walkable streets are designed with slow traffic speed, protecting pedestrians, active children, and wayward pets. Streetside, each home is centered by its front door and covered porch. Behind homes, wide, easily navigable alleyways provide the majority of parking and vehicle storage.
Pioneer Landing is the vision and creation of area architects and builders, born of small-town Montana values and focused on supporting the respectful preservation and thriving longevity of the Columbus community as a whole.
