Homes and Residential Living

Making the move to Pocatello isn’t a hard conclusion to reach. Friendly and experienced realtors abound, and many of them offer relocation services and assistance. The market in Pocatello is as diverse as the city itself. Properties run the gamut in style and price — from low maintenance manufactured housing, condominiums and townhomes to new custom homes in planned subdivisions. More than 6,500 rental property units are available in the area.

Homeowners may also save money through the Homeowners Tax Exemption program. By filing with the county assessor’s office, homeowners who use their homes as their primary residence qualify for a 50 percent reduction (up to $50,000) of the county appraised value of their property, land not included.

With all the attractions and amenities of a large city, Pocatello has managed to maintain that elusive small-town feel and quality of life so many people desire when purchasing a home.

Whether you decide to buy a home in an older, established part of town such as one close to the University, or one of the newer residential areas, or simply to rent a property until you decide to buy, you’ll be glad you chose Pocatello.
