Next year I'm planning to sell my California house, extract a few hundred grand from its value, and move somewhere a little less crowded and less expensive. I don't want to discuss the options within California right now, but we're also considering moving either to the Boise Idaho area or to Highland Utah.
My wife is originally from Boise and I'm originally from Utah, so we both have family in the two areas. We've looked around a bit in both areas and have determined a few areas where we think we could happily live.
In Boise, we're considering south of I-84 around the Meridian/Boise border. We know that we like those neighborhoods. Southeast Boise also looks good, northeast of the Boise River. If you know much about the area, I would appreciate hearing what you think is good or bad about living there.
As for Highland, it's the only town anywhere near Salt Lake that I happen to like. There is no place in the Salt Lake Valley where I would really want to live, nor in Davis County. I was originally considering both Highland and Alpine, but Alpine seems to be either huge mansions or smaller older homes. If I could find the right house in Alpine, I would consider it. But I've looked around Highland quite a bit and they seem to have quite a few neighborhoods that I like. Again, all opinions welcome on what would be good or bad about living there.
