Whitefish Montana Downtown Walking Tour + Driving Tour

Are you wondering if Montana living is right for you? Join along in my Flathead County - Northwestern Montana moving guide as we continue with a walking tour of Whitefish Montana.
Whitefish Montana surpassed 8,500 residents in 2020 growing over 35% in the last decade. It’s easy to see why many are drawn to this quaint town. Whitefish boasts beautiful hiking and cross country ski trails, stunning lakes and beaches, shopping, dining, fishing, art galleries, and more. Join me as I walk through a bit of downtown and drive to the city beach and mountain resort.

Enjoying the videos, especially the moving guides. Visiting Kalispell in August so you are helping so much with planning the trip. God bless!

[@RadiantRealty]

Awesome, thanks Mike. Happy to help :)

[@rhodesiansneverdie7515]

Whitefish Montana was my childhood home, there I had the best childhood I could have ever asked for. Thank you for making a video on this lovely town and its community, it brought back childhood memories of visiting stores like the Imagination station where I would always ask my mom for a rubber band gun (She would always say no), and even Makenzie river pizza company. My family would always take me out there for my birthdays.

[@RadiantRealty]

Awww, I love it! The rubber band gun, haha. Perfect! I hope you got one eventually ;p Do you still have family in the area?

[@VirtualToursTravel]

Nice tour! The places are amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@FlyinCameras]

Some cool videos. Makes me want to road trip big time.

[@BrianAlexDavisMontana406]

Another awesome video. Me and my wife love watching these! Anything about Montana always makes my day better. We can't wait to get there. That was a beautiful drive and walk! :)

[@RadiantRealty]

Thanks for joining me :)

[@gunman-6646]

My favorite Montana town! Although my wife wants to live in Eureka. City beach is awesome too.

[@RadiantRealty]

Eureka is beautiful as well and much more affordable ;)

Love driving videos

[@maximusaugustus6823]

On Thursday 14th of Jan., I am driving to Whitefish MT from Connecticut, a road trip. 2560 miles one way. It will be interesting, I have never been to MT and I wanna take a look. Then I will drive down to Aspen Colorado. I have seen everywhere in the East but never been to the West, I watch your videos sometimes to get the idea.

[@RadiantRealty]

Wow, that's quite the journey!!! Sounds like an amazing road trip. Let me know what you think ;p

Beautiful and great quality, love the audio. Greetings from 🇬🇧 London.

Thanks Iris!

Keep in mind all the silos and Yellowstone geo area

Your videos are helping me and my girlfriend to understand the place, surrounding and recreational activity! You are doing an awesome work! We want to move in Kalispell. Btw Can you give me the title of the music tracks?

"Are you thinking bout me" "On our Minds" and "I'm not the Same" all on epidemic sound :) www.epidemicsound.com/referral/zsjaa9/

[@marianicole2686]

Enjoying your channel although I do feel like this video was more rushed, I was not a fan of the sped up effect on the video. I enjoyed the longer, more in detail videos. I’m sure these take so much of your time so thank you for all you are doing.

[@RadiantRealty]

Thanks for watching and for your feedback Maria. It's always a careful balance to keep viewer attention but show enough of an area. Good to know slowing it down might be helpful.

[@samcahill1122]

My husband and i loved great northern brewery when we’ve visited whitefish. Any idea what it’s going to be now?

[@RadiantRealty]

I know, so sad it closed. I have no idea yet, but I'm thinking it's got to be something good :)

[@vermillion9nelson188]

Thank you for the video. I have what may be kind of a weird question, but do houses in this part of Montana generally have basements? I work from home and a basement is the best option for me (we have one here in Denver). Thanks again!

[@RadiantRealty]

It depends on the lot and age of the home. You can find homes with basements here although many of the newer builds are on a crawl space. However, quite a few lots lend themselves to a walkout basement so we have those as well. Would you want to build a home or purchase an existing one?

[@janedoe4737]

@@RadiantRealty Unfortunately, we are not sure yet. We plan on taking a trip to look at a few areas in the next couple of months. We may be hitting you up for information regarding land. Thanks for the quick reply!

That was a bit too fast for me to really see everything lol. Still loved it though :) Looking forward to more videos.

[@papichulo5552]

To fast? It was perfect!

[@RadiantRealty]

Ok, thanks for the feedback. I did this one in time lapse mode so it wasn't so slow, but maybe I need to go back to regular speed ;p

[@FamilyDinnerDelights]

I’ve watched so many of your videos.. we are considering moving to the kalispell area from Texas.. and we have no idea of what to expect for winter. Do you have any videos talking about winters in kalispell and whitefish?

[@RadiantRealty]

My Whitefish: Eat, Stay, Shop, Play video is Winter themed along with Christmas in the Flathead Valley and Snowshoe in Glacier ;p Winter is going to be rough coming from Texas, but in the Valley we usually stay in the double digits, however about 1 week out of the year we seem to sink below 0. Stay inside by the cozy fireplace :)

[@FamilyDinnerDelights]

Thanks for the reply! We just visited the kalispell area and the hikes we went on were amazing!

[@RadiantRealty]

@@FamilyDinnerDelights awesome, which hikes did you do???

[@FamilyDinnerDelights]

We did mount Aeneas to picnic lakes which was the best!! Incredible views! Also Strawberry lake trail, and Stanton lake trail.

[@kharlaramos3674]

How cold Whitefish is? I mean how’s the weather in there for the whole year! Some people told it’s super cold 🥶

[@RadiantRealty]

I guess that's all relative but you can check out Whitefish temps by month here. www.weather-us.com/en/montana-usa/whitefish-climate

[@JustMe-999a]

Is it ever sunny? It seems like every video from this area includes a lot of clouds.

[@RadiantRealty]

Haha, yeah. This Summer July and August were gorgeous! But, lots of clouds and gray days here. Def not Florida ;p I think this video was filmed in March or April so kind of yucky months here.

[@benjaminmccormick36]

You definitely should have mentioned the "Bulldog Saloon," they do have the best honey hot wings

You should consider inviting Chuck Marohn from Strong Towns to come and speak in your town when all this covid nonsense ends. He basically talks about how to grow a strong town and tries to help towns from making some of the big mistakes much of the US has done while developing. I've been looking at towns for awhile and I just cringe when I see what some places are doing right now (like Boise's surrounding areas). I feel like flathead valley has some great potential. I only visited for a short period of time, but it seemed like such a magical place. Chuck has some great talks on youtube and I really like his podcast, check it out. Btw, I love your hair.

[@RadiantRealty]

Such an important topic. I would love for our local cities to consult some experts in growth. Thanks for the tip!

[@blazinpuffs]

I really want to make Montana my home. Ohio is my home but Montana has my heart.

[@RadiantRealty]

Where in Ohio?

[@blazinpuffs]

@@RadiantRealty Chillicothe

[@RadiantRealty]

@@blazinpuffs you have a few hills there at least. My husband grew up in Ohio so I'm familiar ;p

[@blazinpuffs]

@@RadiantRealty not like Montana. I will admit I take a trip down to Rio grande once in a blue moon just because that area is beautiful.

[@blazinpuffs]

@@RadiantRealty We're actually waiting for the union to reach a settlement with the state of Ohio for lack of hazard pay that they didn't pass during a declared emergency. So if we get that I'll have a decent chunk of change to put down on some property or a house over in Montana. I'm a nurse so I have the ability to travel it's just a matter of selling my home in Chillicothe. whitefish is looking pretty nice to me but it's just a matter of being able to travel around the state.

Why? I enjoyed it.

[@tomcIII]

Fortunate to who have stayed there for a weekend at an AirBnB place downtown courtesy of my sister in law and husband from Sandpoint, Idaho. Went to Glacier National Park. Am from the Philippines. Love the place. So peaceful. Would love to visit again given the chance.

[@RadiantRealty]

How nice of them. Do you live in the U.S. now or did you fly over just for that? Glacier is a special place indeed. What's your favorite spot in nature in the Philippines?

[@tomcIII]

@@RadiantRealty it was one of those US trips where we stayed with them for a vacay. Chilled at Lake McDonald then went to East Glacier. I love Montana. Even spent a night at Quinn's Hot Springs before heading back to Sandpoint.

[@RadiantRealty]

@@tomcIII that sounds perfect. Oh yeah, we've driven by Quinn's several times but haven't stopped in. On my list of things to do ;p

[@RadiantRealty]

@@tomcIII also, I think someone else on here was asking which would be better to move to Sandpoint or here in MT. What is your opinion based on your time in both places?

[@tomcIII]

@@RadiantRealty Am a City boy by heart but somehow now enjoy being close to nature. So I'd say Sandpoint. After all, Montana is just next door.

[@tthoutx1]

Interesting? NOT! You think people might get a better idea if you stopped at a few business?
