Our Charming Town

I loved Idaho Falls from my first visit in 1984 and moved here in 1989. The town is laid out very nicely and it is easy to get around with the exception of the one-way streets in historic downtown. Just pay attention to the signs and it'll start making sense. Crime is low, people are friendly and helpful and outdoor recreation is not too far away in any direction. The cost of living is also low. The beauty probably made the most impression on me. With the Snake River running through it and the beautiful falls in the middle of town, the city is breath-taking. Business developers are now helping to beautify the Snake River area with large, themed mixed-use business parks and greenbelts. The historic downtown is being revitalized little by little with a new multi-level mall going in on one of the main corners. A quaint farmer's market runs next to the river every Saturday during the summer. Free music and gatherings happen along the river and in the downtown and parks throughout the city much of the year. The fire works display is FANTASTIC following a well-attended and supported parade. The museum now has displays that we could only dream of before. The city is now known as the Idaho Falls Metropolitan Statistical Area and is becoming more widely known daily as it hits the national charts for MSAs for its low unemployment rate, job creations and growth, population growth and a good, healthy community to raise a family. If you are into beauty, safety, security, outdoor recreation, clear open skies and a slower pace of living (pretty healthy if you ask me)then Idaho Falls is certainly one city you don't want to miss checking out. Come on over and say hi.
