Southern Lights is located in the historic south side neighborhood close to the city center, providing access to alternative transportation options, city park, schools and the public library. Built in response to the need for Billings residents to afford their homes, we envisioned these homes would also fit into the existing neighborhood’s rich human spirit and unique historical character.
