Residence 401 is an exceptional penthouse located in The Archie at Higgins Waterfront and one of Missoula’s premier residential offerings. One of only two four-bedroom homes at The Archie, it offers approximately 2,649 square feet of interior living space, three bathrooms, and 224 square feet of private outdoor space. Its northwest corner setting provides protected, unobstructed views across the Clark Fork River toward Downtown Missoula, with additional views into the Rattlesnake Valley and toward Mount Jumbo. Because the site slopes toward the river, the home sits above five lower residential levels along the north side of the building, providing the height and outlook of a sixth-floor penthouse, with no residence above. Designed for entertaining, the open kitchen and living area is anchored by a fireplace and offers opportunities for custom millwork. The primary suite and junior primary suite occupy opposite ends of the home, creating privacy and separation for owners and guests. Two additional guest bedrooms complete the four-bedroom layout, while a true windowed office provides a dedicated workspace filled with natural light. The primary suite features a spacious bedroom, an oversized walk-in closet, and a private bathroom with a soaking tub, oversized shower, and separate water closet. Life at The Archie extends well beyond the residence itself. Set on the banks of the Clark Fork River in Missoula’s Hip Strip, The Archie offers an exceptional combination of riverfront living, natural beauty, and walkable city access. Located where the coveted University District and Downtown Missoula meet, The Archie places residents within walking distance of the University of Montana along the Kim Williams Trail, with private access to the Clark Fork River and sweeping river and mountain scenery. At the heart of The Archie’s resident amenities is a carefully curated fitness center developed in collaboration with fitness expert Josh Bridges and designed to accommodate everything from yoga and mobility work to strength training and HIIT. Residents will also enjoy a riverfront patio with barbecues, fire pits, and views of the Clark Fork River and Mount Sentinel’s iconic “M”; a beautifully designed arrival center with a vinyl listening room; and co-working space. Additional conveniences include multiple elevators and a mail room. Private underground parking is available to residents. Every residence includes a Bosch kitchen appliance suite and a choice of two curated interior finish palettes, Drift and Timber. The available LUX kitchen package elevates the home with a panel-ready Thermador appliance suite, custom cabinet panels, a custom wood hood surround, full-height quartz backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and a pot filler. LUX bathroom selections include heated floors, a Toto Washlet bidet seat, wood vanity, backlit vanity mirror, and a three-function shower system with an overhead rain shower, wall-mounted showerhead, and handheld wand. Additional personalization and custom millwork opportunities are available depending on the residence. The Archie offers three distinct home types: single-level Residences, Penthouses, and two-story Townhome-style Residences designed to provide the space and privacy of single-family living. Select Townhome-style Residences feature private entrances and patios, and every home includes private outdoor space. The Archie is the residential community within Higgins Waterfront, a new mixed-use district planned to bring together residences, a hotel, rooftop restaurant and bar, retail offerings, and underground parking. Connected directly to the river and surrounding trail system, Higgins Waterfront is designed as a vibrant destination for living, hospitality, dining, shopping, and recreation.

University District, located between the University of Montana campus and the Clark Fork River, is a historic and walkable Missoula neighborhood with tree-lined streets and brick academic landmarks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Higgins Avenue Bridge and the riverfront path, where bike traffic, coffee counters, and campus energy meet under big-sky views. Architectural cues lean Craftsman bungalows and early 20th-century homes mixed with student-era apartments near campus edges. The Wilma anchors nights with marquee-lit concerts and film. The University of Montana’s Mansfield Library and the Montana Museum of Art & Culture add a studious, gallery-going rhythm. River access and trail connections shape daily routines from sunrise runs to late lectures.
