If you’re buying your first home or building your dream home and are in search of the best location to do so, look no further than Boise, Idaho. Recently ranked by US News as the sixth best place to live in the United States, Boise has a lot to offer for outdoor enthusiasts, city-lovers, families, and young and single entrepreneurs alike.
Why Boise is the Best Place for a New Home Buyer
Receiving an overall score of 7.2 out of 10 from US News’ report, Boise is the ideal place for recreation for those who love the outdoors, with both mountains and deserts, as well as canyons and lakes within a short distance from the downtown area. For those who love cities and are looking for economic opportunities, downtown Boise is booming, with new construction ongoing. The city is also great for those who are health and environmentally conscious, as a locally-sourced food scene has also emerged over the past couple of years. Crime rates are low within the city, and the city has a huge arts and culture scene that is continuing to grow.
In addition to the quality of life described above, Boise is also a much more affordable place to live when compared with other great US cities. Its housing costs aren’t the only reason to invest in this city, though; Idaho cares about keeping taxes low for its citizens, with a progressive income tax of between 1.6 and 7.4 percent.
And if you want to live in a place where you get all four seasons, but the weather still remains temperate, Boise is your city of choice. With more than 200 days of sunshine per year and an average temperature of 32.8 degrees in the winter and 72.7 degrees in the summer, you can get the benefits of white winter and a pleasant summer without major extremes.
