The name of this city came from the five stunning waterfalls that the Lewis and Clark Expedition was mandated to portage. This is from their exploration from 1805 to 1806. Great Falls is the third-largest city in Montana, with 59,000 residents. The median home price here is $189,000, which is a piece of cake if you’ve been saving up or decided to get a mortgage loan.

If you decide to retire here, you’ll get the chance to visit the picturesque Giant Spring State Park, the Dearborn River, Electric City Water Park, and the sprawling land of Benton Lake National Wildlife Refuge. Tripadvisor also suggests the River’s Edge Trail, Gibson Park, and Malmstrom Museum, and Air Park as places to check. Love astronomy but had no chance to pursue it? Well, in 1950, The Mariana UFO incident took place here, wherein a pair of “bright, silvery spheres” were seen floating around, so have your telescope and HD camera ready, as you might get the chance to capture an extraterrestrial sighting.
