Idaho has a very interesting history, indeed. For starters, Idaho's state seal is the only one in the United States designed by a woman. In 1891, Emma Edwards Green entered a statewide competition for the award. 

One of the oldest pieces of evidence of human life and activity in North America is found hidden under the soils of Idaho in the form of stone tools, arrowheads, and animal bone fragments. When in 1805, present-day Idaho was entered by the Lewis and Clark Expedition, it is believed that it was inhabited by 8,000 Native Americans. 

What shaped the history of this state was the trade of fur. First, there was the Missouri Fur Company that caused the European invasion into the region. Then there was the British-owned Hudson Bay’s company followed by other ambitious traders. Even though it was difficult for Americans to continue fur trading due to the long-distance supply lines, they found ways to manage. There were also missionaries working in the area who played a vital role in attracting the Natives. A lot of non-indigenous people began settling in this unorganized territory then known as Oregon Country. This included Germans, Irish, English, African, and even Chinese.

Idaho was formally established separately as a state in 1863. Before that, it was a part of Washington.

Understandably, the population of Idaho is increasing every day. People are realizing the significance of this serene state leading to an increase in immigration from within the US and outside as well. The gem state is now a 1.9-million-strong community ready to warmly welcome even more residents.

As the 14th largest state of the US, it has an open heart for everyone looking to get condos in Idaho. Dreaming of condos in Boise, the capital city, is the perfect thing for individuals who seek adventures in their life. There is absolutely no way you will be bored here. Similarly, you could look for condos in Meridian if you want a neighborhood that is more community-oriented and is a mixture of suburban and city life.

Idaho's economy is thriving even during the pandemic. It secured fourth place for fiscal stability and topped at economic growth. Owner-occupied homes in Idaho average at $212,300 so the cost of living is below the national average making the state even more attractive to buyers looking for Idaho condos for sale.

All of this makes Idaho an ideal place not just for buying real estate but also for businesses, startups and employment opportunities.

Absolutely crucial and often underestimated, weather is an aspect not to be neglected. If you visualize living in an Idaho condo in a few years, you must be wondering what your body will experience. Well, you will be more than happy to know that Idaho is one of those rare regions where you get to enjoy all four seasons.

People looking for Moscow Idaho condos for sale can benefit especially since Moscow is a great place to start a family.

Thankfully,  almost all public high schools in Idaho have four-star ratings with the top three being Boise Senior High School, Renaissance High School, and Meridian Medical Arts School.

Idaho also has more than 600 elementary schools which is less than other states but good enough for the residents.

If you have read this far, you would rather think of the red flags. There are not really any, though.

• Not only is the economy thriving, Idaho is also a tax-friendly state. It is a convenient place to retire.

• Owning a home is cheaper compared to other states. With its population increasing, though, the real estate market is growing rapidly. That also increases competition so it is important to partner up with a company that leaves more money in your pocket, less money in theirs.

• The crime rates are very low. The unemployment rate is even lower.

People living in Idaho, more often than not, give it all five stars. Some say it is the safest they have ever felt, others cannot get over how life in Idaho is overwhelmingly exciting. Even though it is not a very materialistic region and so luxury shopping is not an option, the value it gives to health, cleanliness, and sustainability is a priceless aspect. It's a fulfilling and delightful experience overall. It is truly impossible to find surroundings more beautiful than this.
