The Sawyer offers the best communal student living in Missoula. Centrally located in the Old Sawmill District, you are close to everything. Management is very accommodating to their tenants and you are treated well, which cant be said about the service of other local property groups.

Sawyer Student Living is by far THE BEST living situation for students of University of Montana. The location couldn't be more perfect, out of the way, across from a beautiful park yet at the perfect intersection between Downtown, The Hip Strip and The university. The bike trail right behind the building can take you anywhere you need to go in Missoula. The building is new, modern and has the best, most caring and helpful staff you will find anywhere not just in Missoula (Neil and Catie). The apartment are sleek, large and comfortable. I can't tell you how nice having your own bathroom is, and

Catie helped me find my home here at the Sawyer during the Covid shutdown and I couldnt travel to handle any of it in person. The entire staff is incredibly kind and they greet me by my name. The community here is tight knit and its also just a beautiful place to live. I have no complaints, only compliments.

Ill give it a 1 star just because some of their staff were amazing. Signed a lease with the intention of joining 3 people my age already living there. Opened the door and you could barely walk through the apartment. Of course thats not Sawyers fault, but when I asked to get my rent back for that month since I wouldnt be moving in I was denied. Horrible. Some great staff though, just be careful!

This is a fantastic place to live! The managers and community assistants are nice, helpful and they know me by name. The amenities are hard to beat, with a number of communal spaces, including a small workout room and a lawn courtyard with a fireplace. The building is clean and modern. If you dont mind roommates (but still want your own bathroom) its a good place to be. Ive also found it to be reasonably priced for Missoula, and for what you get in amenities. I would recommend to anyone!
