Why Relocate Here?
Small Town Feel, Big Life Perks
With a combined population of just under 70,000, the Lewis Clark Valley offers the charm of small-town living with the amenities of a larger city. Here, you’re never far from a scenic trail, a farm-to-table meal, or a welcoming neighborhood gathering.
Mild Climate, Year-Round Adventure
Our four-season climate boasts mild winters and long summers. With over 200 days of sunshine each year, outdoor recreation is a year-round lifestyle — from golfing and fishing to hiking, boating, and wine tasting. Hells Canyon, the deepest river gorge in North America, is just a stone’s throw away.
A Great Place to Raise a Family
Safe neighborhoods, quality public and private schools, and plenty of parks and family-friendly activities make this an ideal place to grow roots. Community events, farmers markets, and youth sports help foster a connected, active lifestyle.
