On the other side of Mount Jumbo, East Missoula is home to the areas' first sunrises, the Clark Fork River just below the recently-removed Milltown Dam and the newly-developed Canyon River Golf Course.  East Missoula is due east of Hellgate (i.e. Hells) Canyon, a site of many skirmishes between the Salish Indians and white settlers as they traveled through the windy gates of the canyon.  Hellgate Canyon opens wide to occasional gusty winds and magnificent views.  Newly-developed trails along the river and the Sha-Ron fishing access are attractive amenities for this area.  Homes in East Missoula consist of 1950's brick bungalows, 1970's ranch-style homes, old farmhouses and a smattering of manufactured homes.  While many of the residents worked at the recently-closed Stimson Lumber Mill, new residents are moving into the neighborhood, especially into the Canyon River Golf Community.

The Median Home Price for the East Missoula neighborhood is $244,250.
The Average Days On Market to sell a home in this neighborhood is 110 Days.
