This town maintains a country setting and rural roots where the simple life still exists. New Plymouth is growing for good reasons – affordability and location. The country landscape inspires families to enjoy the outdoors, explore local sites, fish the river, and enjoy everything the whole Treasure Valley has to offer because it’s ALL only a short drive away. And after you’ve spent a day in the crazy hustle and bustle of big city and big business, you can drive home and relax.
The bonus of living in a small, growing town is that you are part of the old and the new. The entire community seemingly shows up to support special events. Experience the old-fashioned fun of a town parade and attend the Payette County Fair. There’s something for everyone at this week long summer festival that celebrates the history of the area and its large variety of interests. Experience the historic water wheels that are still operating today. Interestingly, the city streets create a horseshoe shape, giving the town the title of the “World’s Largest Horseshoe”.
The area schools are rated tops and so are the athletic teams. The school district offers high school students a path to earn an Associates degree before graduation, and a larger than average percentage of the students have garnered awards and scholarships for academic excellence.
Why move to New Plymouth? The country surroundings and the friendly hometown atmosphere make it a great place for families to settle.
