Big City Feel
Small Town Living
With just over 60,000 residents, we know it is too far a leap to characterize Idaho Falls as a metropolis. However, Idaho Falls residents enjoy many amenities you would typically only expect to find in a big city. The growing community is home to its own minor league baseball team, a history and science museum, the Idaho Falls Opera, art museum, symphony and the Colonial Theatre, which attracts performers from across the country. Not to mention the city’s growing food scene. And if, after experiencing all of these amenities, you still feel like you need a taste of the big city, just hop in your car or jump on a plane. Salt Lake City is an easy three-hour drive away and there are non-stop flights to Phoenix for as low as $85 round-trip, as well a handful of other destinations. But you may be surprised, once you get here, you may just want to stay.
