Over the last few years, thousands of folks have moved to Big Sky Country in hopes of living out whatever "Montana" dream they've created in their minds.  Now, don't get me wrong, they call it "The Last Best Place" for a reason.

Are there certain towns to avoid in Montana?

Yes. Of course, the reasons why you should avoid them vary. Some are more dangerous than others, while some are too expensive for the average person.

It's one of the reasons the state has seen so many wealthy people relocate here. It's basic economics. Montana is expensive, they have money, so they buy a bunch of property, build a big house, buy a cowboy hat and matching boots, and call it a day. Which, by the way, is frowned upon by the majority of the population and probably not the best way to make new friends.

So if you're heart is still set on living in The Treasure State, here are 5 towns you should avoid moving to.
