Westside Helena, located between Mount Helena City Park and Downtown Helena, is a historic and residential Helena neighborhood with hillside trails and porch-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Last Chance Gulch corridor near the Walking Mall, where coffee counters, galleries, and local storefronts set a steady, day-to-night rhythm. Queen Anne and Craftsman homes mix with brick walk-ups and small apartment courts along the grid. The Myrna Loy anchors the arts calendar, while Blackfoot River Brewing Co. and the Lewis & Clark Library add a lived-in, local cadence. Side streets climb toward trailheads, and sidewalks link parks, schools, and corner cafes.
