JupiDoor in Idaho Falls
Idaho Falls started as Taylor's Crossing, a toll bridge over the Snake River, and took its current name in 1891 after the rapids below the bridge. At about 4,700 feet, it is the commercial center of eastern Idaho, with the river, the Riverwalk and the 1945 temple through the middle of town. Housing ranges from early-1900s homes in the Ridge Avenue and Eleventh Street historic districts to postwar neighborhoods and newer subdivisions on the edges. The Idaho National Laboratory, with its desert site to the west and a research campus in town, shapes much of the market.
Idaho Falls homes are listed on the Snake River MLS, one of the Idaho MLSs JupiDoor lists on. Your listing goes on it under a licensed Idaho brokerage, and from there to the sites buyers search.
Local knowledge
What sellers in Idaho Falls should know
Buyers relocating for the Idaho National Laboratory weigh the roughly 50-mile trip to the desert site against the in-town Research and Education Campus, so state your drive to both.
Homes on Idaho Falls Power, the city-owned utility with its own Snake River hydro plants, can often get the city's fiber internet, and buyers want to know whether yours has it.
Idaho Falls School District 91 serves most of the city while Bonneville Joint School District 93 covers eastern portions, so confirm the district before naming schools.
Houses in the Ridge Avenue and Eleventh Street historic districts date as far back as the 1890s, so buyers will want to know what has been updated in the wiring, plumbing and heating.
Snake River Landing is a planned development with recorded CC&Rs, so sellers there should have the covenants and any association contacts ready for buyers.
Neighborhoods
Where people buy in Idaho Falls
Ridge Avenue Historic District
A National Register district east of downtown, roughly between North Eastern Avenue, Birch Street, South Boulevard and Placer Avenue. It holds Queen Anne, Colonial Revival and Craftsman houses built from the 1890s through the 1940s and attracts buyers who want an older house close to downtown.
Eleventh Street Historic District
A National Register district south of downtown, roughly bounded by South Boulevard, 9th through 13th Streets and Emerson and Lee avenues, in the area locals call the numbered streets. Early and mid-1900s bungalows and cottages on mature lots draw buyers wanting older homes in town.
Downtown and the Riverwalk
The historic downtown along the Snake River, where the Riverwalk follows the falls and the temple grounds. Housing is limited to older houses on nearby streets and some newer apartments and lofts, and it suits buyers who want to walk to restaurants and the river.
Snake River Landing
A 450-acre mixed-use development along Interstate 15 and the Snake River in south Idaho Falls, with single-family homes, apartments, offices and shops around ponds and trails that connect to the Riverwalk. Buyers are looking for newer construction and quick freeway access.

FAQ
Idaho Falls questions
- There are 3 packages: MLS Starter at $399, MLS Premium at $499, Full Service Realtor at $499 plus 0.5% at closing. The package price is paid up front, when you sign up, instead of a listing commission. A buyer's agent commission, if you choose to offer one, is separate and is yours to set.
- Idaho Falls homes are listed on the Snake River MLS. In Idaho, JupiDoor lists on the Intermountain MLS, Pocatello MLS and Snake River MLS, so your home goes on the one that covers your area, and from there to Zillow, Realtor.com and local broker websites.
- Most of the city is served by Idaho Falls Power, a municipal utility the city has run since 1900. It owns and operates hydroelectric plants on the Snake River that supply about a third of the city's electricity and buys most of the rest through the Bonneville Power Administration under a long-term contract. The utility also runs the Idaho Falls Fiber network, which offers internet service to homes in its service area. Homes just outside city limits may have a different electric provider, so check a recent utility bill for the specific property.
- Idaho Falls School District 91 covers most of the city, including Idaho Falls High School and Skyline High School. Bonneville Joint School District 93 covers eastern portions of Idaho Falls along with Ammon, Iona, Ucon and the Lincoln area, and runs Bonneville, Hillcrest and Thunder Ridge high schools. The line between the two districts does not follow the city limits, so homes on the east side in particular should be checked with each district's boundary information before a buyer relies on a school assignment.
- The laboratory's main site covers about 890 square miles of high desert between Arco and Idaho Falls, roughly 50 miles west of town, so employees assigned there face a long daily drive. INL also runs a Research and Education Campus inside Idaho Falls, which includes the Center for Advanced Energy Studies, so many employees work in town instead. Buyers relocating for INL usually ask which location they will report to before choosing which side of the city to buy on.
- That is your call. Many sellers still offer something toward the buyer's agent to keep their home competitive, but it is optional, and since August 17, 2024 the offer can no longer be published on the MLS. You record what you are willing to offer when you set up your listing, and it is shared with buyer agents directly rather than on the listing. Whatever you offer, the listing-side savings are yours.
