SOUTH EASTERN IDAHO
SOUTH EASTERN IDAHO
Southeastern Idaho is a dynamic region where vast agricultural plains meet the towering Rocky Mountains, providing a unique blend of small-town charm and economic strength. Dominated by the Snake River Plain, the area serves as a gateway to Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park, making world-class outdoor recreation a core part of the lifestyle.
The region's two major hubs, Idaho Falls and Pocatello, anchor the economy and culture:
Idaho Falls is known for its beautiful Snake River Greenbelt and its prominent role as an energy and research center (home to the Idaho National Laboratory - INL).
Pocatello is a historic "Gate City" and home to Idaho State University (ISU), providing a youthful energy, a strong medical presence, and access to extensive mountain biking and hiking trails.
From high-tech manufacturing and energy development to the state's famous potato agriculture, Southeastern Idaho offers a low cost of living and a high quality of life, balancing career opportunity with unmatched access to the natural beauty of the Gem State.
