Moving to Boise? Idaho?

You are going to need a place to live. Seems that people are moving to Boise in droves recently and Boise real estate is a hot commodity.

About Boise :

Boise is the heart of Idaho's Boise-Nampa metro. For a variety of reasons, including low cost of doing business, a central location and a high quality of life, Boise has become home to many large businesses and corporate headquarters. Some examples include Hewlett-Packard, Boise Cascade, Albertson's and Micron Technology. These ample employment opportunities only add to the appeal of Boise living.

Boise never seemed like a place I would consider living, but after speaking to a couple of friends there it seems like it is moving in a much better direction than my current residence. Mainly they actually have businesses moving in, while here in Michigan we seem to have businesses clamoring to get out. Unemployment seems to be an ugly trend here, but Fortune Magazine rated Boise as Number 1 on its 2005 list of Best Places for Business and Careers. If that isn't impressive to someone living in a low employment place I don't know what is. As a college graduate I find it more and more difficult to find great opportunities where I live now so I tend to follow what is going on around America in the career scene. Boise has just moved way up my list. Just a place to think about :).
