Considering a move to Twin Falls?
Located at the south edge of the Snake River Canyon, Twin Falls is located between Boise and Salt Lake City. We are 45 miles from the Jackpot, Nevada casinos, 80 miles away from the world famous Sun Valley Ski resort and we have premier golfing, fishing and whitewater rafting right in our own backyard.
Twin Falls has seen tremendous growth in the last 5 years. New home construction and existing homes sales have increased and development is at an all time high. New projects in Twin Falls include the new St. Lukes Magic Valley Regional Medical Center, Canyon Ridge High School , and the LDS Temple. A new convention centers, multi-use projects, hotels, and other retail have chosen to call Twin Falls home as well.
The surrounding communities of Kimberly, Filer, Buhl, and Hagerman have a diverse economy that includes agriculture, hatchery sciences, services, and more.
