One Of The Best Places To Live In Your 30s Is 6 Hours From Boise

Whether you're married, have a solid career, or love where you live, deciding where to live in your 30s is a hard choice. Travel + Leisure has a list of the "9 Best Places to Live in Your 30s, According to Real Estate Experts."

The Closes Place On The List To Boise

Portland, Oregon, is a hub for young professionals with tech, design, and sustainability job opportunities. It attracts entrepreneurs and those looking for career growth. If you prioritize work-life balance, living in Portland could be for you, like Boise, it's close to some great outdoor adventures like hiking in the Columbia River Gorge, skiing on Mount Hood, and visiting the Oregon Coast (which is absolutely beautiful).

The Real Estate experts say that Portland favors first-time homebuyers, especially in some of the outer neighborhoods. Like Boise, it has bike-friendly streets and a great food scene for foodies.

Why You Wouldn't Want To Leave Boise

Boise is a special place. That's why so many people have been moving here. Idaho's slower pace of life appeals to those wanting to avoid that big city life but still enjoy what many big cities offer. Boise and the Treasure Valley offer stronger community bonds and tight connections through local events and traditions.

I have seen a lot of people in their upper 20s & mid-30s trying to find a place to meet other like-minded single people. For some, it could be a big problem throughout the Treasure Valley with more families moving here.

Because Travel + Leisure says Portland is one of the best places for people in their 30s, it might not be somewhere you want to live, but it's always fun to look into other places to see what they offer.
