Even though I’ve lived in Colorado for 20+ years, I proud to say Idaho Falls is my hometown. This video passed by 3 different locations in downtown where I began to establish myself beyond high school.
I love the Northwest area, I grew up in Washington state and I'm thinking about moving there to Idaho Falls from Central Texas thank you so much for the video, it helped a lot in my decision-making! Blessings And thank you for your service to our nation!
I stayed one night in Idaho Falls on my way to Billings Montana for Thanksgiving with the family and I really liked this place, also Bozeman Montana also had similar cool vibes .
Just came across your video of idaho falls my Mormon missionary friend was from there its nice to see the town that he actually came from his mission was served in Newtownards in N.ireland.
@@HomeLifewithRebecca I'm moving there in about 2 or 3 weeks going to be working at hospital there in town don't worry I'm not coming from California or Texas hahaha!
@@Yenko1992 don’t worry even if you are from Cali people are really nice here. We are from California and nobody’s ever looked down on us. Maybe I’ll see you around!!!
Those outdoor ping-pong tables are sooo sweet! I wish we had that here in Calgary, Alberta! Love your videos bro, always feels good to see Idaho again as I used to live down there for a year
When I was a child, I could see the Temple from my bedroom window. I used to hike what we called the river walk between the Temple and the Broadway Bridge. My house was about 4 blocks from the Temple.
Great video! For my money though I would like a place that is not modernized. I want that old style feel with the old style buildings turn of the century type buildings. That's what makes me love the old west as much as I do. I think when you start making everything all filled with technology and a million different upgrades it takes away from the character of certain places. That's just my opinion.
Looks good in the fall and spring. You should be here in the winter with us natives. All you can see is snow covered everything. Most people don't come here in the winter.
Funniest thing ever I was scouting out Arizona for long time always watched his AZ channel and then said F Az to hot to crowded now and I really got into Idaho by random chance so looking up Boise first video I saw with live tour of Boise was.... you guessed it 😂
I made it here and I've been here about a month and a half and I absolutely love it although I am a conservative from Oklahoma! I definitely don't miss that Oklahoma heat in the summertime I love the sawtooth mountains being to the west and the Tetons being to the east
@@Yenko1992 Glad to hear that all worked out man. I'm an east coaster right on the shoreline so the whole midwest/west has always intrigued me. Enjoy that fresh mountain air out there this summer. God bless you.
I currently live in California, but I'm from Idaho and have been to both cities many times and can speak to the +/- of both places. Twin Falls would be my preference. The weather is better (winter more mild, shorter) and the community is more beautiful IMO. Twin Falls is smaller and has most of the same services, but its downtown has a more quaint feel and is prettier. Both places are regional retail centers with the usual big box stores. Idaho Falls is within a reasonable drives of Yellowstone and the Tetons. But Twin Falls is also within similar range of the Sawtooth Mountains and Sun Valley, but also right adjacent to the city is the Snake River canyon, with several spectacular hikes, springs, and huge waterfalls. Neither city has a university. (I think Universities bring more variety and cultural options.) Idaho Falls has satellite campuses for Idaho's three bigger state universities which caters to non-traditional students. Twin Falls has a four year college. Idaho Falls has a surprisingly good Civic orchestra and choir. Twin Falls does not. Housing costs are comparable. Both cities have a large Mormon population, but they are less dominant in Twin Falls. Idaho Falls has a better airport. The nearest larger city to Idaho Falls is Salt Lake City. Twin Falls is about equidistant to Salt Lake, but is much closer to Boise. Hope that helps.
@@jmelande4937 Great info...one additional question - what are your thoughts on crime, gangs, drug activity, etc, for both cities? Is one city noticeably worse than the other?
@@davervatx8814 neither city has a major problem with drugs and gangs, but Idaho is still in the USA and rural meth labs/abuse happen everywhere. The opioid epidemic has spared Idaho as compared to many other areas of the country. Crime rates can be compared online, but from what I know both Idaho Falls and Twin Falls have a low violent crime rate. According to USA Today Idaho is in the top ten for lowest violent crime overall and has the ninth lowest murder rate and the second lowest violent robbery rate (not including petty theft).
@@jeffyeah4256 as for hiking within city limits, Idaho Falls has the Snake River green belt for a walk in the park but Twin Falls has the stunning Snake River canyon. As for the Tetons vs. the Sawtooths, I’d pick the less crowded but equally stunning Sawtooths north of Twin Falls.
Great Video! I'm looking to move to Idaho Falls from California..... yes unhinged blue state California. I have fought for a long time here and it has gone beyond any fight worth fighting! Im very conservative God,Family and Freedom are you seeing a lot of liberal people moving to Idaho Falls?
I came from California looking to find a house that I could rent until I decide to move from the SF Bay Area. I bought a house there 2 years ago because the area is affordable and the quality of life is good. I am glad I did it when I did because I would not be able to afford the kind of house I have now. The housing market is going at a clip of 14 to 18% yearly. I am looking forward to moving there in the next few years when I retire.
What part of Idaho? To big of a state all different areas north panhandle is very cold and has some bad winters but absolutely Heaven on earth CDA Spokane area.... Boise is the big city best liveable spot I assume pretty good weather with seasons not sure what Boise winter is like... rest I’m not sure looking up Pocatello and Idaho falls I think rest is mostly “big towns” or just really small towns scattered and farms but LOTS of nature in Idaho forest rivers waterfalls in north ton of lakes, hiking camping all good stuff. Cheaper then Arizona to Arizona is great if you don’t want snow perfect winters but summers can hit over 110.... Arizona is mostly Phoenix and Phoenix suburbs so it’s pretty crowded lot of cars now.... still lot of nice stuff there way more shops restaurants all that but traffic worse air quality more city feel everywhere idaho is very rural besides Boise... CDA is getting busy to. Arizona does have lakes and trip to San Diego is dueable but Idaho has amazing forest and lakes so many lakes and doesn’t get dried out feel but will get lot of snow....but the desert feel and night is unique to just depends what you like🤷🏻♂️ I feel like Arizona is better for college graduates but I also here Boise is great for prices there although has become a hotspot but more opportunity in Arizona then Idaho, Boise is great everywhere else in that state I think jobs are lower paying.... I saw lot of construction and manufacturing jobs but I ONLY looked in North Idaho for jobs so idk just depends on what work. I scouted out Arizona for months I really wasn’t impressed with jobs there Idaho is same way besides Boise. I hear full time jobs are more scarce there to but I think Arizona has similar work laws? Idk on that one. Hope I helped to some extent
@@BW-kv9wj does it honestly matter? It's a post about a city... You're that politically charged that it's all you can think about. Liberals liberals liberals... They are coming for your guns! Critical race theory!!! Such a sad world. Just enjoy a video.
Might be looking to move here, I see people don’t think Californian conservatives exist. Must be nice to have picked where you were born. I sure didn’t get to.
The houses are big & have basements and large yards. Great Value for anyone looking to purchase a home to raise a family. They are getting more expensive however and the choices are not as many as they were even a few years ago.
Can not help to comment on a key point, you mention modernization of their downntown... Why? Those types of people come in to places like this wanting that refreshing get away from where ever they dragged themselves out of but then they change it into the very thing they are trying to escape. Stop doing that. Stop destroying these places with the urban modernization.
But seem, I love the old downtown that you walked through - it was very well kept. Those sorts of areas are wonderful. The only time old downtowns are depressing is when there are rundown buildings with no businesses in them. I hope it stays the way it is.
This is absolutely the worst place I have ever lived. I couldn't leave fast enough. It's a very closed and secular community and not very welcoming if moving there and not part of said community. Also their sucide and homicide rate exceeded the nation's capital. The only upside is its location near national parks.
We’ll, I left Idaho Falls in 1980; went to Scottsdale, AZ., and spent four years there. Then in 1984 I moved to Pasadena, CA where I went to school (AADA). Although still in CA, I’ve never been able to embrace LA, and CA in its totality. I graduated in 1970 from Idaho Falls, high school: ( Go Tigers)!! I still miss IF, it’s people, the good friends I made, good restaurants; the Sandpiper, Ada’s Cafe…I hope they’re still in business. Great fishing, hunting, and camping. I’ve always felt IF people were hospitable and caring, and also friendly. Heavily populated by Mormons, but if you’re not one, they don’t bother you. I’d love to move back now that I’ve lived more than half of my life so far, but I just can’t do the looong cooold winters. My bones won’t take it…perhaps getting away from CA and spend summers in Idaho Falls and winters in Arizona. I still have friends in both states..who knows…I’m a Republican and living here in KommieCal is not fun at all anymore. Anyway, enjoyed your video very much; thank you and your service for our nation. Idaho has been, is, and always will be a hidden natural beautiful place to live!
