3 Reviews & Comments About Mountain Home
I lived in mountain Home for a few months for my husband's work. It's BAD. Sirens every hour. Drug deals right in front of you.
In the Caldwell nampa area now. I don't like it.
I live in Mountain Home ID. I love our little town. We need more things for our youth to do. Yet the community here is great!
The crime rate is under control. As a perfect town for cheap living for retirement. I have lived here for over 6 years coming from Washington it really nice small town. Great changes coming for things to do. Your 35 miles from Boise if you need things that My. Home doesnt have. Come and enjoy the easy life.
The parks are well taken care of.
