My mother grew up in Rigby. I have never heard anyone talk so nicely about it. Thank you!
You’re so welcome!
I was a military brat also. By the time I left highschool and joined the Army, then Air Force. Racked up living in 45 states & 4 countries. Last duty station was Gowen Field, Boisie. I love Idaho.
They will plant me here. For those who don't like it here; Don't let the door hit ya, where the good lord split ya"!
Hello! Nice to meet another “brat” ;) Idaho really is great
@@LifeinIdahoFallsID Military brats have to stick together. Remember moving every 3 months? Going from winter weather to tropical in 3 days? Got to be flexable.
An old rancher told me: Don't be a a$$hole, know your Mtn. Ranges (you won't get lost), don't steal. You'll fit right in. Oh! Don't try & change us. Was a must.
@@MerrellJones-qz8tc haha that’s great! Yes very adaptable! Probably why I can make a fool of myself on CZcams!
I was once told, "Never ask a barber if you need a haircut."
Would a real estate agent based in Idaho Falls ever paint a negative image of Idaho Falls? ;) Just kidding.
I've been to Idaho a few times with a sister that lives in Boise. I can say that any community dominated by LDS is most likely going to be relatively clean and friendly.
I've ridden across the USA and back on a motorcycle twice in the past 4 years and Idaho was my first long stopover both times. I live in NC. Once you cross the Mississippi going West the people get nicer and locations, gas stations, everything gets cleaner, and the people get more friendly and service-oriented. The Eastern US seaboard and increasingly inland at NC is getting filthy. There is a huge influx of NY, NJ, PA folks that are obscene in public without remorse. Their children are nearly as bad as they are in public.
Idaho people are some of the nicest and most decent I've met in all my travels.
That’s for the comment! Haha I try to shed light on the negatives too but of course I’m having a very positive experience myself! And you’re right, Idaho people are the best
Nice job, very informative and fun to listen to😊
Thank you so much!
Great video! we might consider a move there next year. Would love to talk to you about it. Burning ditches reminds me of a Rob Zombie song. lol
@@Lululila67 haha! Thats awesome. I would love to chat! I start talking to people up to year in advance. Send me an email or text!
@@LifeinIdahoFallsID sounds like twin falls area might be a better fit for my husband and I. Apparently idaho falls has alot more snow and gets colder.
@@Lululila67 twin still gets cold, windy and snowy but yes I do believe it’s a bit milder. If you’re looking for even more mild, or warm, I would consider closer to Boise. Although it gets pretty hot there. Twin is a great place too! I would recommend visiting Idaho falls and Twin Falls since they are only 2 hours apart and get a better feel for the town
When we moved here the wind definitely surprised me. I'm curious about the castle you lived in in Rigby.
Yes me too! But Idaho falls isn’t as windy. Mostly in the spring it seems. It’s the castle next to Rigby lake!
I lived in Idaho falls with my 1st wife. Joined the army from there.
You coming back to visit?
Really have no reason to anymore
On one hand I'm glad it's getting credit it deserves, on the other hand I don't like idaho being advertised.
I totally get that!
My brother and family lived for a number of years in Idaho Falls. He said the Mormon influence out there was a negative as they didn't mix, didn't want to mix and shunned anyone or group that wasn't Mormon. So you had a split culture - them and everyone else.
I’m so sorry that was your brothers experience! That’s really terrible.
As a non Mormon who's lived in idaho for 45 years, I can tell you the Mormon infulence is regarded by most non church members as a positive, because it keeps a lot of people away! All in all they are great people, and will give you the shirt off their back in a pinch.
@@portnuefflyer you’re so awesome. Thanks for this comment
I've lived in Idaho Falls for 8 years now. And you are COMPLETELY wrong. Even if you're not LDS, they make best neighbors, and the safest and friendliest neighborhoods. I'm guessing that your brother and his family were probably douchbags in one way or another to get treated that way 😂
@@IdaholifeV My brother had a doctorate in nuclear engineering and worked for Westinghouse at the installation the Navy had outside Idaho Falls. He also had a masters in chemical engineering which he got at MIT before switching to nuclear engineering after being hired by Westinghouse. My SIL was a stay-at-home mom to their kids.
They were NOT 'douchbags".
I spent 7 years at Mountain Home AFB & loved it there. It had everything there that i liked did alot of riding my quad and camping would ride my quad to Strike dam and did alot of fishing. The only place that compared to it at all was Wisconsin but I would love to come and visit there again I do miss it. I moved from there in 94 haven't been there since. If I was younger I would move there but I'm 55 now can't take the cold anymore with my arthritis :( It sucks getting old.
Thanks for the comment! That stinks about your arthritis! Come visit in the summer!
If I was 30 years younger. I'd be looking there. I love the mountains, but having arthritis and being less mobile, most of what I'd be looking for in a place like that would be lost. And that truly kills me.
Oh man I’m sorry to hear that! What other places are you considering? I might know a realtor in your area that could help!
Don’t worry buddy, those kind of things don’t exist anymore anyway. You can still go hiking or camping, of course, but you’ll be surrounded by people. You’re really not missing much
Looks like a great place to visit
It’s so great! Let me know if you come visit!
We bought a new house 2 years ago here in San tan valley Arizona but don’t feel safe.. was looking about possibly moving here.. curious about new builds with 6 rooms.. just entertaining the idea right now.
Awesome! Yes you have options. Fall Creek homes and castle rock and copper creek all have options with 6 beds. Not all on the MLS. Let me know and we can set up a time to chat
Life in Idaho Falls? Yes, no, maybe.
INL stands for Idaho National Labs, not international labs. Aka the Site. Most people that move here, do so for a job out there, including me. Been here 10 years now, worked there something over 8. Hey I have a family to feed.
So here's my observations after a decade.
The big thing is the weather. If you were only been through this past winter, it was a mild one. The winter of 22/23 just went on and on and on forever. People joke about 9 months of winter, at times that is not too far off. I've seen snow, real snow, every month Sept thru April. Locals talk about snow in July. Others want a white Christmas, we have a white thanksgiving. My observations of Utah is that its much more mild than us.
Summers are nice, last year it was on Tuesday. OK, another IF joke. Most Augusts/Septembers we end up breathing the West coasts forest fire's smoke. None last year so we're due. July is good weather and smoke free. Summers are short.
What else?
Real estate is up a lot in the last 5 years, no bargains here anymore.
ID is an open carry state, and if you don't like guns you may want to choose another state.
Locals don't like outsiders for driving up house prices and trying to take away their guns.
Dry air, you'll want to invest in hand lotion.
I think you oversold water recreation a little. But fishing is quite popular.
Farming is big outside town, and the roads often have large farm vehicles tooling down them. Be patient and pass with care.
Hay fever is a real thing.
We're a desert.
The 4th of July Fireworks bill themselves as the largest W of the Mississippi.
Every year tourons find entertaining (read painful) ways to kill themselves in Yellowstone. The 1st is before June.
Sun Valley, Island Park, Tetons and Yellowstone are spectacular beautiful, but very crowded. And touron percentage is too high.
While the town is family friendly, the single scene is grim. Town is basically closed on Sundays.
The wind is real.
I knew a couple that moved to Boise from CA, one winter and they were done. And Boise winters are mild compared to IF.
Its pronounced Boy-SEE, not Boy-Zee.
Locals don't like outsiders for driving up house prices and trying to take away their guns. And miss pronouncing their capital.
So life in Idaho Falls? Yes, no, maybe. We're staying, but choose carefully.
Thanks for the honest feedback! I can’t believe I fudged on INL… I knew that. Ugh. I’m going to see if I can change it some how.
I’m considering moving to Idaho in January. Do you sell primarily in Idaho Falls only? I’m between there and Twin Falls.
@@divineintervention007 awesome! Nope I am licensed in all of Idaho. I don’t have access to the twin falls MLS so I would most likely refer you to an amazing twin falls agent. Depends on the situation. I am willing to drive a couple of hours for some clients too! :)
And wolves in Comora Loma! We saw a small pack of 4 back in January.
Oh wow!! That’s cool and scary!
I lived in Stuttguart and went to the high school of Stuttguart American High school in Pattonville. That are is no longer there. I think it was given up and closed those bases down. Now there is a just a few left of American presence.
Oh how cool!! Yes Heidelberg high school was closed too when they moved troops out. Such a unique time!
Also after viewing other channels about idaho the ( negative stuff people talk about, ) it was nice to hear some positive aspects of Idaho.
Thank you for that positive comment!
Idaho is an aweful place to live. Don't move here.
@@carlatamanczyk3891 haha you’re a local trying to keep them out huh?
I lived in I.F. in the mid 60s then moved to ashton then mountain home then up to Kamiah back in mountain home for the 5th time
Nice do you like it?
@@LifeinIdahoFallsID yes I do , Mountain Home keeps drawing people back and no one can say why it does.
Its beautiful there, but the winters are long, and the snow is plenty. I'm native to Utah, and Idaho is worse. However, the outdoor landscape of mountains and lakes are beautiful
Yes it is beautiful. I miss the Utah mountains but I don't miss the traffic and bad air. Idaho is just right for us right now. And the winter in Idaho Falls is honestly not that bad IMO
Stop advertising about how wonderful idaho is, please. You just attract MORE people. Us natives are sick of people moving here. Thank you.
Totally get it! People are coming here regardless. I’m trying to make sure we get the right people here if you know what I mean ;)
Idaho Falls sounds pretty amazing. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome! It is pretty great! You coming to visit?
We snowmobilers also say "sledding".
Oh yes I have heard that as well!
Please tell us more about the weather and show us more pictures of Idaho falls the city! Thank you and maybe show us alittle bit of the apts and houses.
Ok sounds good! I’ll put it on the list!
9 mths of COLD weather...
How windy is it? 😊
@@sparkybob2004 windy in the spring but not too crazy in my opinion. In Idaho falls it’s less windy than out in the country. When I was in Rigby I felt like it was just windy all the time except for some hot summer days and some cold winter days. So it just depends on where you live
I’ve seen stats that around 50% of Idaho falls is LDS. Does that seem accurate to you as someone who lives there?
@@RunShootSki it’s definitely a higher percentage but I don’t know that I would say 50%. Maybe 40? But also a lot of people are considered LDS but are not actively attending church. Mormons are different here than in Utah. It’s funny! If you were Mormon in Utah you were more showy about it. And not as many people that would shop on Sunday and swear but here in Idaho, lots of sabbath shoppers and swearing Mormons… haha why do you ask?
@@LifeinIdahoFallsID Thanks! I was just curious. We were visiting a couple weeks ago and definitely noticed all the meetinghouses and obviously the Temple down by the river.
@@RunShootSki yes for sure! It’s a great community though!
@@LifeinIdahoFallsID absolutely seems like it! And to be clear, higher LDS population is a plus for us!
@@RunShootSki great!!
You Idaho transplants are very entertaining.
Haha good! I’m glad I can entertain! Trying to be enthusiastic so I can help others make Idaho home.
Where are the Baptist churches in Idaho Falls? Utah is also Mormon dominant. I moved from Utah to Franklin, TN and here it is Baptist, the bible belt
We have a handful of baptist churches in Idaho Falls. I also know of at least 2 in Rigby as well. Are you thinking of moving here and want to make sure there is a Baptist church?
I miss East Idaho especially Blackfoot Idaho
Come visit!!
@LifeinIdahoFallsID for many years I used to go to Idaho I actually live in Las Vegas I used to work in Idaho weird huh but I used to deliver to all the Mexican restaurants out there from Pocatello blackfoot Idaho Falls Rigby Rexburg and St Anthony
@@ericlopez2549 oh nice! Do you have a different job now?
@LifeinIdahoFallsID yes I drive for Pepsi... I'm originally from California moved to Vegas worked in Idaho.. my heart is with Idaho... don't miss the snow thou...lol
@@ericlopez2549 Oh I bet! Vegas and California are much warmer! I wish you well friend. Thanks for you support.
Have you learned what a
Barrowpit is yet? ? ?
Oh yes! I forgot that one! Thanks for watching
Yeah, I'm from IDAHO Falls
@@johnconnor6725 oh awesome!!
A year in Idaho Falls. Our condolences.
@@michaelmiller6878 I love it here!
Life is about perspective. Compared to Pocatello, it’s paradise 😂
@@michaelmiller6878 I like Pocatello! I love how many mountains and trails are right in the city
@@LifeinIdahoFallsID We are all certainly entitled to our own opinion, but if you’re posting on CZcams, as someone providing guidance for people, I’d be a little suspect of your opinions, knowing you like Pocatello. lol. I mean, I was born there, and can honestly say it’s a bit ghetto, not very scenic, not much to do there, and most jobs don’t pay well. Don’t see any appeal. Maybe cheaper houses because no one wants to go there? haha
@@michaelmiller6878 I guess i just see it differently. I see some ghetto parts but also see a lot of character down town and all the mountains are so pretty!
Can you buy a house even if you don't live there?
Yes, you can buy a house and rent it out or just live here part time. You can also buy a house before you move here
50 miles from the coast = SAME. Anywhere outside of that = SAME.
Same culture? What do you mean?
Yeah, but what about the British at Dunkirk! Hunh? Oof!
What do you mean??
Can you say Dorthy Moon?
@@sombrerogrande6317 what do you mean?
@@LifeinIdahoFallsID Apparently your unaware of Moons religious bigotry.
@@sombrerogrande6317 I guess so!
Idaho=EXPENSIVE
No compared to some places! Where do you live?
@@LifeinIdahoFallsID I've lived in 5 states, for my job. Moot subject. That fact is, if somewhere is cheaper than downtown San Francisco, everyone rants about how affordable it is. No, it's still very expensive. I've heard it all & just shake my head.
@@toddgittins5692what are you basing it off of? Fast food and fun😂...Homeowner ship and adult bills accordingly....Idaho is cheaper than most. Do your research like I am.
I hate vids with the hand to lenses action. It’s stupid so stop it.
Thanks for the feedback!
I hate that evil town.
It’s definitely not for everyone! I certainly am grateful to be here
What's evil about it?
