Moving from Arizona to Idaho

Idaho’s mountain beauty and significantly lower cost of living appeal to Arizona residents seeking scenic variety and financial relief from desert living expenses. While Arizona offers little topographical diversity, Idaho provides mountains, forests, and rivers that create recreational opportunities impossible in the desert. Idaho’s outdoor culture and seasonal activities attract those tired of Arizona’s heat-imposed limitations on summer recreation. The state’s strong sense of community and traditional values provide social connections often missing in Arizona’s more transient, retirement-focused communities.
