Places to relocate

2in, look up boise if you haven't.
you can get a lot that overlooks the boise river if you really like water OR move to nampa out on lake lowell. don't recommend that but some do. if you really want to get out of town, marsing along the snake river is not far from boise.
there's several reservoirs with ample boating 15min from downtown and lucky peak has some GREAT docks that are free for the day. we loved our boating there better than anyplace we have been on the water. city has a green belt walking trail that spans 30 miles. TONS of hiking/biking just outside of town. ski resort 16 miles from downtown with 6 high speed lifts. it's similar in climate to reno-a tad colder in the winter-and snows but it goes away quickly and only a handful of days a year you actually have to drive on it. I have gone many years living there without shoveling a driveway and then one year you might do it a couple times. much more family friendly and lower crime than reno and costwise about the same.
spent 40 years there growing up and it's a very nice place to call home if you're into a family friendly outdoor recreation area. downside is city grew too quickly so traffic is kind of a bear and snow.

oh ya... and although it has income tax, it's not Cali so it's still somewhat reasonable and without all the nanny-state drama that comes along with that state....

I'll add that if you're looking smaller town, you might consider lake havasu arizona. hot as heck, no humidity and a nice reservoir to boat on. town is a mess on the weekends from cali influx but mon-thu it's not bad. all the bigbox stores and still somewhat reasonable housing. 500k should buy a nice house with a boat garage. not 3500sqft but not 1200 either. it would be one of my top5 retirement places.

I’ve spent a lot of time in the Treasure Valley area so I know the perks and places. My wife enjoyed our quick summer trips to buy our last SA from a family in Meridian. But, she won’t tolerate the cold. I’d rather be in Garden Valley if I had my druthers, or McCall. If I win the lotto, maybe a summer place their, or Priest Lake/Sandpoint area.

NV, also an armpit. Cold AND hot. Dry. No lakes.

Hush your mouth!! This Reno boy knows better. Placer Co. would be ok if it weren’t for the people there. Hwy 50 and the Bay Area weekend moron migration ruined Southlake.

I know reno, unfortunately. I grew up there. Still have a house up in the galena neck of the woods, unfortunately. Reno is one of the armpits of America!!
I’ve been pushing the big boss for a house in south lake, she won’t do it full time though.

My shell station is in auburn off 80, I do that 80 drive 1-2 times a week. Once for work, once for the lake. Because you know, that armpit has no lakes!! Lol.
Our house in auburn is off auburn Folsom, near Folsom lake. Beautiful place my man!! Loomis/Penryn/Newcastle is the idea if we stick around California.

I spent a lot of time working in Idaho in my yesteryears.
I would not recommend nampa, it is ghetto.
But I get at where 2in is coming from. Eagle and meridian are also outside of boise. But much nicer.

How humid is it in new braunfels? I’m very interested in that area as well.

Today it was around 30% RH with a high of 102, which feels like 106. Central Texas has been hot and having lower than normal RH. Normal ranges between 35-55 without rain, but once thunder claps all bets are off.

I might be the only one who likes humidity.

I have spent a lot of time in Utah and dry air sucks, always dry eyes, dry skin and thirsty

asthmatic here as a kid and took a lot of drugs for it when young including steroids for many years. outgrew it as an adult until I moved to green bay. humidity drove me back into albuterol. as soon as I left and moved to utah and eventually sin city, haven't touched it since.
dry air has it benefits but I do miss the cheaper housing prices of the midwest and closer proximity to water. and frankly, people are MUCH nicer in the midwest vs the southwest.

exwife was from nampa and we lived there for a few years while I managed a big box store it's like any city with good and bad places.
his 500k ask sends eagle away and frankly, you will get more bang for the cash in nampa but meridian is definitely a nicer place. built 5 houses there back in the day and lived there for 10 years. very nice community but if you have kids, you need to be of the right religion.
