The reason there are so many cheap homes for sale in Butte and
Anaconda, is that there aren't many good jobs left. I personally found
jobs in Anaconda easily-but not good ones. People left the area in the
80's especially, after the mines and smelters closed. This exodus has
left one-in-seven "housing units" in Anaconda vacant, according to the
U.S. census. This has driven down the prices of homes dramatically.
Since both towns still have all the basic ammenities, are cleaner now.
