Low unemployment, low crime rates, and a lack of severe weather are among the factors that lead to the Boise-Nampa area (our Treasure Valley) being named Number 1 on the list of "Most Secure U.S. Places to Live" for large metropolitan areas. The list is an annual ranking done by Farmers Insurance Group. St. George, Utah takes the top spot for small towns, and Las Cruces, NM takes the honors for mid-sized cities. Last year's list ranked Boise #4 in the mid-sized group. That confirms what all of us already knew... we're growing fast, but our quality of life is fantastic!
Boise, Idaho and the Treasure Valley continue to be highly ranked in a number of different lists and articles for our liveabilty. MONEY Magazine ranks us #8 on their "Best Places to Live" list. In 2005 FORBES Magazine rated Boise second on a list of "Safest Places", and first on a list of "Best Places for Business". On top of all that, our home prices are still reasonable, especially when you compare them to the big city prices you find in Seattle, California, or some of the desert Southwest cities.
Congratulations Boise, Nampa, and the Treasure Valley!
