The City’s neighborhood list is useful for local orientation. Missoula city and Missoula County are different office jurisdictions for some property questions, so use the actual address when confirming a permit, inspection, code, or historic-resource question.
Missoula city neighborhood
University District
The City places it south of the Clark Fork River, east of South Higgins Avenue, north of Pattee Canyon Drive, and west of Campus Drive.
For your sale: Those street bounds help orient you, but use the property address when a permit, inspection, or other parcel-specific question comes up.

Names on the City neighborhood list
Heart of Missoula, Northside / Westside, Riverfront / River Road, and Lewis & Clark
These central, north/west, and river-area names appear on the City of Missoula neighborhood list.
For your sale: The names help describe where a house is. City permit and code questions still depend on the actual address, not the neighborhood label.
City neighborhoods ↗
Names on the City neighborhood-council list
Franklin to the Fort, South 39th, Moose Can Gully, Grant Creek, and Miller Creek
The City lists these areas beyond the central neighborhoods, including south and creek-area locations.
For your sale: If a sale question involves City permits or an existing notice, give the office the street address so it can be checked against the right location.
City neighborhoods ↗
Names on the City neighborhood-council list
Upper and Lower Rattlesnake; Farviews / Pattee Canyon
The City includes both Rattlesnake areas and Farviews / Pattee Canyon on its neighborhood list.
For your sale: For a house near a named area or historic resource, confirm the exact parcel rather than assuming its status from the neighborhood name.

Nearby Census-designated places, not Missoula city neighborhoods
East Missoula, Bonner-West Riverside, Frenchtown, and Lolo
The Census identifies these as separate places from Missoula city. They are not represented here as incorporated municipalities.
For your sale: A community name does not settle which building office covers a parcel. Check the address and city-limit status before relying on a City or County permit route.

Local context for older-home questions
Historic-district resources
City preservation pages list National Register district nominations that include Northside / Railroad, Lower Rattlesnake, Downtown / Railroad, East Pine Street, Southside, McCormick, University Area, University of Montana, Missoula County Fairgrounds, and Fort Missoula.
For your sale: A district list is not a finding about one house’s age, condition, designation, or review requirements. Use the address for a property-specific question.
