Brick cottages and mid-century ranch homes sit alongside newer infill, keeping the streetscape varied but cohesive. Lindley Park’s lawns and tennis courts shape daily routines, while the Gallagator Trail threads through for commuting and errands. Community pillars include the Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture, Bozeman Brewing Company, and the Ellen Theatre, tying the area to downtown’s cultural calendar.

B-3
Downtown Business District
The intent of the downtown B-3 business district is to provide a central area for the community's business, government service and cultural activities with urban residential development as an essential supporting use. The downtown B-3 district should be the area of greatest density of development, intensity of use, and appropriate infill. Design standards reinforcing the area's historical pedestrian-oriented context are very important.; This district encourages high volume, pedestrian-oriented uses in ground floor space in the core area of the city's central business district, i.e., along Main Street from Grand to Rouse and to the alleys one-half block north and south from Main Street. Lower volume pedestrian uses such as professional offices may locate on ground floor space in the downtown B-3 area outside the above-defined core.
Permitted uses
