Our Take
Miles City offers a low cost of living and decent schools, but almost everything requires a car and amenities are sparse. It’s a quiet place that may suit retirees or remote workers, yet job prospects and nightlife are limited. If you’re looking for a bustling urban environment, it’s probably not the right fit.
