Tips for Moving to Boise

Moving to a new city can be so exciting but is surely a challenge.

That’s why it’s important to do plenty of research before you make the decision to relocate. Admittedly, we’re a little biased; but we think Boise, Idaho is a great place to live! Still, it helps to have some resources as you plan for your move. 

Neighborhood

Before you make the move to the Boise area, it’s important to consider the neighborhood you may settle in. In today’s market, it may be more difficult to find, buy or rent in Boise proper - but there are plenty of desirable communities near the city and in Ada County, including Meridian, Nampa, and Caldwell.

Buying or Renting

Prior to moving anywhere new, it’s always a good idea to determine if you plan to rent or buy a home. The housing market right now is a tough one, as home prices have been climbing over the last few years. At Heffner Group, we’d recommend searching for your next home sweet home in the cities and communities around Boise. If you’re thinking of buying, it’s a great idea to get a head start with an experienced mortgage professional so you’re as prepared as possible when you’re ready to buy!

Job-Hunting 

Boise’s unemployment rate in 2018 was at 2.6%, making its job market healthier than an average city of its size. Ada County has a variety of job opportunities and industries, including tech, logging, mining, forestry, finances, and agriculture.
