Relocation Guide

AFFORDABLE LIVING
The Boise area is a collection of
distinctive cities and towns
where the standard of living is
enviable. Living here is easier
on your budget than living in the
majority of U.S. cities.
Idaho’s focus on low taxes and
low utility costs has kept the
Boise area’s cost of living below
the national average. The
median price for a home in Ada
County averaged $315,830 in
2018. There is plenty of water
in Idaho thanks to our many
rivers and reservoirs.
The Boise area’s mild climate,
abundance of water, and
active lifestyle all combine to
create an ideal place for yearround
recreation. From city
parks and riverwalk strolls to
Bogus Basin at night
resort-style skiing and
mountain climbing, you will
find it here. No matter where
you look thousands of acres of
open space dot the state
giving our citizens a massive
outdoor playground to hike,
fish, raft, boat, birdwatch,
snowmobile, motorcycle and
much more with only a short
drive from home.
