One of the most overlooked parts of buying a home is thinking about how it fits into your daily routine. For many homebuyers, the right location is not just about the home itself, it is about how easily you can get to work, school, and the places you visit most often.


That is one of the biggest advantages of living in Southeast Great Falls. The area offers the space and quiet of a residential neighborhood while keeping you connected to everything the city has to offer. For homeowners at Meadowview Village, that balance of peace and accessibility makes everyday life easier.


Easy Access to Major Routes

Southeast Great Falls sits near several key roads that connect you quickly to the rest of the city. Second Avenue North, 38th Street, and 57th Street provide smooth access to downtown, Malmstrom Air Force Base, and the industrial corridor on the east side. Interstate 15 is just a short drive away, making regional travel and weekend getaways simple.


For most residents, the drive to central Great Falls takes 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the time of day. That means you can enjoy the benefits of a quiet neighborhood without sacrificing convenience.


Short Commutes to Major Employers

Many of Great Falls’ largest employers are within a short drive from Meadowview Village.


  • Malmstrom Air Force Base – Approximately 10 minutes

  • Benefis Health System – Around 12 minutes

  • Great Falls Public Schools – Roughly 10 minutes to several district offices and schools

  • Downtown Great Falls – About 15 minutes


For families, shorter commutes mean more time at home and less time on the road one of the simplest ways to improve quality of life.


Public Transportation and Alternative Options

Great Falls Transit provides fixed-route bus service throughout the city, including routes that connect the southeast area with downtown, shopping districts, and medical centers. For residents who prefer biking, the city has continued to expand its network of multi-use trails, with connections planned to reach further into the southeast neighborhoods in the coming years.


Carpooling is also a popular option among Great Falls professionals, particularly for those working at Malmstrom Air Force Base or in the downtown medical corridor.


Everyday Convenience

Living in Southeast Great Falls also means being close to daily essentials. Grocery stores, local restaurants, and small businesses are only minutes away, along with schools, parks, and healthcare providers.
