RiverView Apartments

RiverView Apartments is a collaboration between Lone Mountain Land Company, Resort Tax, Big Sky Water & Sewer, and BSCHT to develop rental units off Lone Mountain Trail.

Residents Move Into RiverView

Almost four years after announcing its collaboration with Lone Mountain Land Company, BSCHT welcomed its residents home to RiverView on September 10.

BSCHT partnered with BlueLine Development to construct and manage its portion of the RiverView project, which consists of 25 apartments on the west end of the campus. BlueLine has tentatively leased all of BSCHT’s portion of RiverView. 

If interested in renting at RiverView, please review the BSCHT RiverView Income Limits chart below before applying. BlueLine Property Management processes all applications, and the federal government sets income limits annually. If your household is disqualified due to income, neither BlueLine nor BSCHT can make exceptions due to the federal funding in the project. If you have any questions about your application, please email riverview@blpmc.com.

BSCHT-RIVERVIEW RENT

The rent below includes a utility allowance. If you are between incomes, your rent will be the lower of the two amounts. Proof of income includes your six most recent consecutive pay stubs.

BSCHT-RIVERVIEW INCOME LIMITS

Income is the most significant factor in qualifying to rent at RiverView. If your household is within or close to the limits in the income chart below, please apply. The incomes listed are gross income limits (pre-taxes).

LMLC-RIVERVIEW

Lone Mountain Land Company built its portion of the project with private funding only. Because of this, none of LMLC’s units need to meet the federal income guidelines outlined in the chart above.

LMLC – RIVERVIEW FOR INDIVIDUALS

If you or your household want to rent at RiverView Apartments but make too much money to qualify for BSCHT’s apartments, please complete the Individual Survey. In 2025, LMLC will lease its two apartment buildings on the west end of campus to individuals working in Big Sky.

LMLC – RIVERVIEW FOR BUSINESSES

The three buildings on the east end of campus contain dorm-style suites with private bedrooms. Each suite contains either four or eight bedrooms. LMLC anticipates renting the suites in November as employee housing. If you own a business in Big Sky and need employee housing, please complete the Business Survey. 

One Campus, Two Developments

In 2021, the Housing Trust announced its collaboration with Lone Mountain Land Co. to build RiverView Apartments. Construction began in May 2023. Although LMLC and BSCHT shared some infrastructure costs, the two developments used different contractors and funding sources.
