Let’s face it. Idaho is growing. The population has steadily been increasing over the years, especially in the more urban areas of the state. In response to this, most Idahoans jest that people should stop moving to Idaho out of fear that our great state will somehow change with the influx of people. The truth is, though, that people are moving to Idaho because they like it how it is. And how could they not? It’s the best place in the world. Here are 15 reasons why:
The cost of living is quite low in Idaho, especially in comparison to other places in the Pacific Northwest region! Some things money just can't buy.
The seasons are incredible in Idaho. They are usually quite mild, and you get four different seasons rather than just "Hot" or "Cold".

Boise is the perfect combination of small town vibes and the busy-ness of a big city. What's not to love? Boise has even made several national "Top Ten" lists such as "Best Travel-Worthy State Capitals" by USA Today in 2016.

You'll never run out of things to do. Whether you're into skiing, snowboarding, hiking, biking...if it's an outdoor activity, you can do it here in Idaho.
There aren't many places besides Idaho where wilderness areas are just a short drive away! We've got the Sawtooths, Frank Church Wilderness Area, Boise National Forest...the list goes on and on.
