The trend toward remote work, also known as telecommuting, is growing. Although this
trend can be traced back over the last decade, a sharp uptick can be observed beginning
around the year 2020. More and more Americans are thinking about relocating to less
populous areas in search of a better work-life balance, and these areas must be equipped
with high-speed internet, affordable housing, and easy access to major airports. As remote
work hubs go, Boise and the Treasure Valley more than meet the requirements of the
modern freelancer.
Boise and the surrounding cities have access to high-speed internet with
download speeds of up to 1000Mbps, which is on par with those of any major city.
The Boise Airport is conveniently located in the heart of Boise, just off of Interstate
84. Getting through security and 昀椀nding your way around are both breezes at this
airport. There are a number of options for getting across the country quickly and
easily, so it won’t be dif昀椀cult to get to the next board meeting or holiday party.
Boise and its surrounding cities have an average cost of living. Home of昀椀ces
are becoming increasingly common as more condo and apartment complexes
spring up in and around the valley.
Fast food delivery, coworking spaces, and ridesharing apps like Uber and Lyft are
all within easy reach.
Safest and most convenient for the remote worker are medium-sized cities like
Boise. Coworking spaces, food delivery, and job opportunities are scarce in smaller
towns, while living expenses are higher in larger cities.
