RiverView Apartments is a collaboration between Lone Mountain Land Company, Resort Tax, Big Sky Water & Sewer, and BSCHT to develop rental units off Lone Mountain Trail.

APPLY FOR BSCHT-RIVERVIEW

In 2021, the Housing Trust announced its collaboration with Lone Mountain Land Co. to build RiverView Apartments. Construction began in May 2023. Although LMLC and BSCHT shared some infrastructure costs, the two developments used different contractors and funding sources.

Rents for a Housing Trust one-bedroom apartment will range between $613 and $1,635, for a two-bedroom between $735 and $1,962, and for a three-bedroom between $850 and $2,268.

LMLC – RIVERVIEW FOR INDIVIDUALS

If you or your household want to rent at RiverView Apartments but make too much money to qualify for BSCHT-RIVERVIEW, please complete the Individual Survey. Please note that completing a prior survey does not guarantee a position in line for a RiverView Apartment. Rental rates and application information are not yet available. LMLC anticipates the occupation of its apartments in the Fall of 2024.

LMLC-RIVERVIEW FOR BUSINESSES

If you own a business in Big Sky and need employee housing, please complete the Business Survey. Lone Mountain Land Company built its portion of the project with private funding only. Because of this, none of LMLC’s units need to meet the federal income guidelines outlined in the chart above. In the fall, LMLC will lease its shared suites with single occupancy bedrooms to local businesses to use as employee housing.

Developers anticipate finishing construction by June 1, 2024.
