This growth isn't without its challenges. Many locals express concern over these rapid changes, particularly the rising housing prices that are reshaping communities. Long-time residents face affordability issues, with some forced to move further out to find reasonable housing prices. Despite these concerns, Idaho remains a place of affordable living compared to many coastal states, drawing families, young professionals, and retirees. The state's charming landscapes and welcoming community enhance its allure, continually driving up home values.
